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

    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 !

    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.

    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?

    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.

    I like it. Especially the front grill, how the lights are set, bumper and the front fins. I have never seen one before. I don't care for the huge fins on the back tough. Cool car for sure.

    You're blind! It's pristine! I did find a clean silver one, for $16,000.
