1988 Buick LeSabre T-Type

About This Vehicle:

Built in 1988, this style car was built for three years ('87-'89) to replace the ever-popular "Grand National". However, the car never gained popularity among the "muscle-car" crowd as it lacked the turbo the Grand National came with, as well as RWD. A truly rare car, it was the 2-door sport version of the luxury LeSabre that was given a Grand National appearance. I've owned 3 (one for every year), and am always on the look-out for parts, as everything has been discontinued by GM, making the car even harder to maintain. www.lesabret.com for more info.
