1980-1985 Buick Lesabre? |

That grille makes me think it's an Electra 225 from the same period. -- Last edit: 2012-02-25 03:01:27 |

It's a LeSabre, the picture is a bit too blurry to tell which year. Any close up view available? |

The heavy center vertical bar in conjunction with the 2 bisecting horizontal ones makes me think either 1978 or 1979. -- Last edit: 2012-02-25 13:29:48 |

The door handles are too close to the window sills to be a 77-79 body; also Buick didn't have the turn signals in the bumper during those years. It's a 82/83 LeSabre. |

But the '82/'83's had 3 heavy vertical divider bars and this one appears only to have one, in the center. If, however, you are correct about the parking lamps being in the bumper, then you're correct about it not being a '78/'79 and the photo just doesn't show the other vertical bars. My screen resolution isn't good enough for me to detect any parking lamps in the bumper. -- Last edit: 2012-02-27 00:23:06 |

Nope. |

Regardless; don't you agree the door handles proximity to the window sills make it a 80-85 body not to be a 77-79? -- Last edit: 2012-02-27 02:05:15 |

That and the roofline. |

I can certainly see your point on that. Again, it must just be the photo resolution that makes it look as if it only has one heavy vertical grille bar. Will list as 1982 at this point pending any better photo. (Skipping over '80 and '81 as the grille really does not resemble the one used in those years.) |
