Buick Fastback

Some time in the 60's, a neighbor had a Buick Lesabre fastback 2 door. Am I dreaming ???, or was there a model in the 60's. Comments ??

Rand 1967 had a hardtop LeSabre fastback. It looked very similar to the Wildcat.

This one (1967?) looks almost like a fastback and might be so classified. I'm not sure.

Happy hunting!

That's it !!! Was a metallic blue with a vinyl top. Very different car for that year.

That red one is gorgeous! Is it a '49 or a '48?

It's a 1948. Sorry for my error. Here are two more pictures to be sure.

1948: photo no longer available

1949: photo no longer available

The 1949 Buick body was all new, the first one since before World War II.

Just don't care for the full-size fastback design.

Much prefer the '48; especially the tail end.

First one is a '66, second one is a '67. The ' 67 and '68 full size Buicks had the nicest designs of the decade, including the '69 Riviera.

Yes, the first one is a '66, second one is a '67. '65 through '68 could be considered fastbacks.
