  • Testfahrt meines 1959er Buick Electra 4 Door Sedan im Sommer 2018. Inzwischen hat sich schon einiges getan. Die Innenaustattung ist endlich drin und die gesamte Elektrik im Fahrzeug ist erneuert und Funktionstüchtig. Es sind jedoch noch arbeiten am Fahrwerk und am Motor notwendig.

    RESPECT for driving on those narrow countryside roads.We have the same here in Dorset. I enjoyed every second of your manoeuvring that large car around there. She is an absolute beauty, with not one bad angle. Nice camerawork too, btw.
    Cheers.

    Took my driver's license test in my Dad's 1959 Buick LeSabre...fire engine red convertible. It had the somewhat smaller engine--364ci, rated at 250hp. The Dynaflow transmission was very smooth, but a little bit slow on heavy acceleration. A 59 Buick convertible now, is worth well over a hundred grand! The engine in that Electra would have been the famous 401ci "nailhead"...held in high regard by race drivers, for it's torque and 325hp.

    The dashboards from 59 and 65 are my favorites.

    Was für eine Schönheit!!! Ich habe 17 Jahre lang einen Buick Century gefahren, allerdings einen "neuen" (1991er). Hab den 1993 in Florida im Urlaub gekauft und per Container verschiffen lassen. Hat mir lange Zeit treue Dienste geleistet. Viele Grüße und noch weiterhin viel Spaß mit dem tollen Fahrzeug, Andreas

    Same car & color but the hardtop flattop variant is the one i'm looking for. I like the yellow too- not that mellow of a year for colors for Buick, but i like it when they pop.

    • @bighands69
      @bighands69 3 роки тому +4

      Those cars were never on sale in Germany to begin with so fans of the cars are going to go and buy them and get them shipped.
      There are also classic car sales in Europe that do imports as well. You can also find classic european cars in America.

    I think my parents owned one of these cars or it was a lowly LeSabre, but I remember photographs of it with its mean, toothy looking front grille when looking at these pictures.

      Yes, that rattle would drive me crazy! I can't stand rattles in a car. I would find it and fix it asap! I had a 49 Packard and there was a rattle in the dash and it drove me nuts! It became my obsession until I finally located it. I adjusted the glove box lid catch and it took car of it!

    The old time Buick Dealer Mechanics say the 1957-1959 Buick’s were the worst with lots of workmanship problems. Probably true across the board especially with Chrysler products.

      Buick always built reliable cars and had high quality control. They had a reputation for a reason.

      @@bighands69 Yes...overall, Buick was rated as being the most reliable of the GM products, going back into the 1950s.
