And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Another fine Buick! 1961 Buick Le Sabre. Just take in and breathe those long lines!
What you reckon, a 6 foot driveshaft ? Longer ? I miss the simplicity of working on north south mounted motors Recently spent 4 hours removing an alternator from an '02 Saab 9.5. Not lambasting the Saab, it is a really great car (Aero model) but the job would have been less than 10 minutes with a motor not wedged between the two front wheels longways.
Peak Detroit styling, MHO. Classy. Left the bathtub and goofy rocket wing styles of the 50s behind, and the OPEC/import troubles were still more than a decade away.

ReplyDeleteAnd it's a genuine four-holer.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't miss those Budd passenger cars he rode home in.
ReplyDelete"The car of the future will have 'Holes it the sides'. "
ReplyDeleteWhen cars had actual seating room inside.
ReplyDeleteI like the proportions - especially the relatively short nose along with the generally clean lines.
ReplyDeleteGreat Harley Earl design. Might be an Electra 225?
ReplyDeleteActually an electra 225 because it's a four-holer. Le Sabre has three holes.
