Hey Guys! What do you think about this beauty? The 1951 General Motors LeSabre was styled with
abundant jet-aircraft design cues and powered
by a specially built high-compression
supercharged V-8. The LeSabre was very much the embodiment of what car-crazy kids dreamt. Wait, that's wrong; it went far, far beyond anything ever dreamt of. It was the car of the future.
That sure is an interesting looking vehicle! I can remember Cadillac and Chevrolet copying that style with the big fins at the back when I was a child. Even as a small child in elementary school, those fins made the cars look very impressive to me. The first car I bought was a 1966 Chevrolet Impala. It didn't have the big fins, but it sure was roomy! I have a picture somewhere of me and my dad both lying fully stretched out in the trunk with room to spare. Good thing the streets were not as crowded as they are now! That thing would be hard to park now-a-days.
No place left anymore for such vehicles! Too big too thirsty too inefficient too durable too unique and simply unforgettable. It is a blessing that we had the opportunity to live with them to drive them and to love them. Forever!
