    That's crazy. I have honestly never set eyes on one, I'd love to see one in person - I think that would seal the deal. Apparently they have one of the coolest dashes/clusters out there. I have not seen one myself. I plan on going down to the roundup next time, so hopefully It won't disappoint.

      They aren't common, but they're around. I was telling Danny how much I love those cars when we were walking around it. The front end is killer. I've also seen one at the Alberstons Friday night show off Little Road in Arlington.

        For some reason, I have unmentioned friends that feel the '59 LeSabre is ugly. I think it's one of the coolest looking classics ever. I personally have never seen one in person, but I've been looking for a good condition wagon for the better part of a decade. What do you guys think?

        ^^^ Eric beat me to it.

        Sounds like you need to fire said friends and get some new ones. I have ALWAYS been a '59 Buick fan. They just look sinister with the "eyebrows" on the fenders. I think that would have been a better "Christine" movie car.

          Hell yeah Aaron, that's EXACTLY what I've always thought. A very menacing look, especially when it's dark and slammed. I had played with doing a semi flat block with black chrome on all the trim.

          I have a buddy in LA I might have go look at that car, and see if I can snag it for $1,000.

            Yeah, the darker the paint, the more sadistic they look. I LOVE IT !

            If you get the car, and need some help, depending on where ya live, I'd be down to help do some work on it !

                I'd wait for a better condition 2 door or wagon. The rear window in the 4 door looks like chicken fried asshole.

                  I agree, I might be able to use it as a parts car. I've been told finding trim on these is impossible, you have to have people make it for you. for the right price it might be worth it. I've been told if it's missing a piece of trim, pass on it. And I see it's missing some trim.

                      Pretty true. I'd probably want to de-trim the sides anyway.

                        Oh and, the fins are one of my favorite things about that car !!

                          I'm a sucker for chrome. I think a satin black car with all the trim black chrome would have a pretty interesting contrast.

                              Because you never come to the Roundup. You're always at Quakeconn.

                                That was was balls out, I don't think I see any conservativeness in that design at all. They did what they wanted to.
