The Buick LeSabre is a full-size car manufactured by Buick, a division of General Motors, from 1959 to 2005. Prior to 1959, the full-size Buick Special model had held its position from 1936 to 1958. The LeSabre, meaning "the sabre" in French, served as Buick's mid-level full-size sedan, positioned above the Special but below the Electra in the 1960s. The LeSabre maintained its market position when the Electra was replaced by the Park Avenue. This model was offered in various body styles including a 2-door convertible, sedan or hardtop, a 4-door sedan or hardtop, and station wagon throughout its production.
The LeSabre nameplate was first featured on the 1951 Le Sabre show car, which showcased aircraft-inspired design elements like the wrap-around windshield and tail fins. This design innovation set the tone for the subsequent LeSabre models.
