Hidden Gem: The Buick LeSabre Grand National







 

Did you know NASCAR had homologation rules as recently as the 1980s? Neither did I.

Just 117 LeSabre Grand Nationals were built in order to homologate the streamlined rear quarter window for NASCAR competition. It was not turbocharged and just one run of cars were built to be sold in areas near the Daytona 500.

It was supposed to be built in black and white, but just black was built, along with one red one. All the info you could want on the LeSabre GN is available here.
