Allow me to introduce Turq2. This is a 1966 Buick LeSabre 2-door, hardtop sporting a mere 47,000 miles. She left Massachusetts on Friday afternoon, August 8 and should be here sometime Monday, August 11.
Tom is beside himself and we are both anxious to see and test drive her. Link to the Hemmings post Some of the comments on the link above included: "Super clean Buick that was well bought at fair price. I would have thought it would have brought more but the market spoke. Good luck." "That thing is absolutely gorgeous! I had a later LeSabre that called herself BUCK after she got poked in the "I." She ran for many miles! Yours looks better. Enjoy!" On another note ... we still have Tom's son's 1961 Imperial by Chrysler and it is for sale. This car, a testament to a bygone era when automotive craftsmanship heavily relied on the strength and heft of steel, possesses a solidity akin to a rock. Unlike some of their more modern, lighter counterparts, its construction speaks of enduring quality. While time and the elements have likely taken their toll, requiring some tender loving care (TLC), the fundamental structure remains sound, offering a fantastic foundation. With the right attention to detail – perhaps a fresh coat of paint, some interior restoration, and mechanical fine-tuning – this vehicle has the potential to transform into a truly head-turning show car, a rolling piece of history that commands attention and admiration wherever it goes. Unfortunately, my current circumstances lack the essential resources of a dedicated shop space for storage and the necessary area to undertake the restoration work.
