STORY

The LeSabre was one of Buick's longest-running and best-selling nameplates, serving as the brand's full-size entry-level sedan from 1959 to 2005. Later generations rode on GM's front-wheel-drive H-body platform with the durable 3.8-liter V6, liked by traditional buyers for their smooth ride and roomy interiors. For years it ranked among America's best-selling full-size cars before being replaced by the Lucerne.
