Buick LeSabre 1961 - 64

All GM B-body cars were re-skinned in 1961 to get away from the 'fins and chrome' cars of the 1950s. Chief stylist at GM was now Bill Mitchell. Underneath the B-body cars were very much as before, and the Buicks retained their 123-inch wheelbase over the 119-inch of Chevrolet. The 5.96-litre V8 continued through 1961 in 2 states of tune before the 6.6-litre V8 took over in 1962. All B-body cars were replaced for 1964.
