The woman in the photo probably weighs 100 lbs. max. The land whales that pass for women today would break that seat mechanism in an instant, never mind trying to squeeze their girth 180° around.

That, plus our loving Goonverment™ won’t allow us any such innovations today.

It looks like it might have had a "three on a tree" transmission.

Would snap her head clean off in a 60 mph head-on (no pun) collision seated in that position. Ahhh, those were the days...

The driver wouldn't have fared much better in that car. He or she probably would be impaled on the steering column in a head-on at that speed.

I am buying a 61 Buick Skylark 2 door
 Quoting: bro tim


Cool!

Wonder if it's the 215 V8? 2 barrel or 4 barrel?

4 barrel is the Ultra High Compression engine. All aluminum.

Had a '63 Olds F85 with the 4 barrel, hot little engine! Transmission was different too, Switchpitch torque converter I think.

Have to watch that reverse gear location at the bottom. Rips the trans apart when you downshift into reverse at 50 mph..

My sister had a 61 Skylark, I was fond of the 64-65.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84516296


It's the four barrel and it's the two-door hardtop 215 engine all aluminum yes except for the exhaust manifold
 Quoting: bro tim


If the exhaust is like the 63, it's cast iron but made like a header.

You'll probably want to use high octane gas.

Yeah I had a '62 Olds Dynamic 88, reverse at the bottom, I pulled it into reverse while downshifting, like an idiot.

61'Buicks were cool period, Cadillac luxury for the middle class and look at all that open space, like having a living room on wheels. My '92 Park Avenue Ultra wasn't half bad either, wish I still had it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77918474


About to sell my LeSabre, hate to do it since it gets 30 highway, but I don't want to keep three cars on the road and sitting around is a death sentence for a car. Full size luxury and 30 mpg, hard to beat.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84516296


What year model LeSabre do you have and what area of the United States do you live cuz I might be interested to get it for my boy

My first car was a '62 LaSabre; bought it for $200 and drove it for years. The previous owner was a rubber-burning hot-rodder but those vehicles could handle just about everything...
 Quoting: TEOTWAIKI


My first car was a 70 Oldsmobile with a 10 and a half to one compression ratio that ran on premium gas and back then that was a different thing it had lead in it and it didn't have positraction but it would sit there and dig that one tire until smoke you couldn't see behind you. My brother was a few years older than me he bought a 63 Plymouth Fury I remember the push button Dash it was like the same push button I had in my 64 barracuda

Very cool.


Looks like it would be much more comfortable for her
