[@waltereturner]

Agreed. There was something special about these cars. Glad to see this one was so well cared for.

[@paulparoma]

Say that again. Today, you have to spend $100K or so to get a comfortable car, and even then I am not sure the experience would be the same. Just look at those seats! The simulated wood grain looks very attractive and did not cost a fortune. Those cars were pretty simple, but they were very solid and comfortable, and priced within many people's reach. In addition, they were relatively cheap to maintain and repair. I prefer the Electra, though. Had a '78 that was stolen from me.

[@cyiaslappy8596]

Wow! So beautiful and so nostalgic! My Daddy bought the 1984 version of this beauty back when I was still a young teenager. We were a family of 7 (including my mother and father). Although the Dodge minivan had made its debut in '83, I guess my Dad was not that impressed and preferred the subtle luxury of the Buick for his family. This care gave us many years of safety and good service as we traveled up and down I-75, on Dad's ministry assignments. I'd love to own one for the nostalgia, although my choice for our young family these days is the Honda Odyssey Touring. My kids would find the LeSabre cute and interesting, but they're not ever giving up their Odyssey, and I don't blame them. Just a different era. Thanks so much for sharing this video!

Those Hub Caps were made at Norris Industries in Spencer WV . They made all hubcaps for all of General Motors. I worked there for several years and they really is a lot of work in making one of these hubcaps.

[@KingCobra1968]

What a beautiful car! I love it! As far as cloth vs velour, I always understood that velour has that plush pile that you can run your hand over and it changes shade in each direction so to speak. Cloth on the other hand is just that: cloth. You will never find cloth in this caliber of vehicle. Velour is more luxurious and soft. I love your videos, Anthony! Always great, clean cars! Keep up the great work.

[@AlexanderCrump]

The '80s were the heyday for velour upholstery. I really miss it. It gripped you in the turns and felt comfortable whether it was 100 or 10 outside. I really resented when the automotive market started pushing leather and really low-grade crappy no-nap fabric (NOT velour).

That's a beautiful car. They were great cars when my wife and I first got married in 91 we had a 1982 lesabre. You are so right people don't take care of there property any more. I sold my son my car so he'd have a good car we sold it to him cheap to help him out and he never washes it or even checks the oil. I'll never do that again.

[@Kenneybrock]

Imagine paying $16K for a brand new, mid luxury full size car. Back in 1985, most buyers paid for these cars within 3 -5 years. NOW, the only way many people can drive a new car off the lot is by leasing (long term rental).

[@djtrepound2407]

considering with inflation 16k is about 38k (give or take) today that’s a hell of a deal for such a nice vehicle. can’t get a well equipped car today with this amount of detail and class for that kind of money. you’re right about that

[@jraoul711]

That's in superb condition for the age. My dad had this same model, I believe in the same color and year. It had a different color vinyl top, I think it was black. It was not a limited. He bought it used in the mid-nineties. I remember it was in really good condition like this one, with low miles. Of course after a few years the bumpers and rocker panels started to rust. He also didn't like how much fuel the big V8 went through. But they are nice big old cars and very rare to see now.

[@gafire25]

Wow when I was 15-16 yrs old my mom had a baby blu lesabre ! She bought it from neighbors that could not drive anymore, and it was mint! This thing would float down the road! But around the 90s when my mom had it she traded it for a 91 ford tempo! Which at the time I thought was cooler to drive lol! Same interior! Don’t know if it was a collectors edition? It was baby blue inside and out! What a throwback!

Had one of these in until around 95 or so. Nice riding and spacious, including the trunk. Most will want to add air shocks to keep the tail from dragging. As you note, the 307 is the weak part of the package.

[@specialtymotorcars]

[@sailorx72]

My family had one of the collectors edition Lesaber's from 1985. They kept it until the mid 90's when they traded it in for a smaller car. It was still in good shape when it was traded in but the paint job did have some minor issues. Mid 80's paint jobs in the Florida sun didn't fare so well. Being garaged kept didn't help it unfortunately.

[@johnzito125]

I still have one now in a coupe same colors. I had about 4 of them over 25 years, White, Burgundy, Black and my current Gray one- all coupes and I drove them everyday. Weakest link in these cars is the anemic 307 Olds motor (165 Hp maybe) and the valve stem seals which dry up and then allow it to burn oil. But as a collector car its fine. 1985 is the only year the Lesabre was bigger than the Park Ave Electra, which went to FWD that year. The"leftover" Park Ave interiors from 1984 were put into these cars and made the 1985 "Collectors Edition" Lesabre. But these cars an eyeful for sure and really did float down the road. Thanks for seeking and saving these cars.

The indoor video is fine. You have to because of your seasons and the winter weather. You are right about filler panels down south. You are so on the money. I remember that Pontiac Parisienne. Simply elegant! I liked you put new tires on the car and your comment about the 1996 Buick Roadmaster Collectors Edition and the seats on this LeSabre. It was sad to see when GM downsized all those cars in the 1980's. They upsized in the late 80's early 90's the fwd cars. Buick Roadmaster gave buyers one last shot at this kind of Buick(1991-1996). Hard to believe Buick is now an all crossover and suv brand in the United States. The last Buick sedan to be cancelled is the Regal which is being discontinued. They will still have Buick sedans in China. You are right about that brand loyalty does not exist anymore. That was a lot of collectors items that are interesting to see. Nice and clean indeed.

[@specialtymotorcars]

Thank you buddy!

[@MrGreenelight]

I believe that the Buick Roadmaster is the best highway riding car ever made, Quiet and smooth. I have a new Regal now, it has a sport suspension, which means you feel every bump in the road. Feels like a Nissan instead of a Buick. Nothing like the cruisers of the 70's and 80's, That you could run up on the curb and the suspension would absorb all the impact.
