    My father's 1964 Buick LeSabre Convertible

    Sweet car!. Looks like you did a great job on the restoration. Did you take before and after pics that you can share. Progress pics keep half of us motivated, and cause the other half to drink to excess. Curious about the wide whitewalls. Shouldn't this year have a thin single whitewall stripe?

    Hi John and thanks! Unfortunately, there were not many pictures at all. This car really took off after my dad retired, and I was still in school so we did not document near as much as we wanted to. And about the tires, my dad just picked out the ones he liked. They are from Coker. We did not know enough about those years and how it was reflected in the tires. How were the tires striped in 1964?

    Yes, nice car. I was born in 1964. I have purchased and owned all 3 of the 1964 Buick full size convertibles and to be honest, I enjoyed my LeSabre convertible the most. I like your dark color. Is the motor the 300 with aluminum heads and intake?

    Bryan, thanks for compliments! My dad loves his LeSabre, drives it everywhere to car shows. Sun, rain... whatever. The engine is the 300ci and I am almost positive it has aluminium heads and intake. I will definitely check the next time I am at the shop. Maybe grab some pictures, too!

    VERY nice! I hope my '64 Electra convertible looks that good when I am done :-)

    Thanks! I'm sure your Electra is going to be awesome.

    I have seen this car at the cruise in at Marley.

    You sure have! Do you go regularly with your Buick Special?

    For interior trim, only a 2dr HT or convert will work. Wildcat will fit but is a more deluxe trim than lesabre.

    Gary, thanks for your help! We will look for HT trim.

    We did learn that we have the ST-400 3-speed. Also, we have the two-piece drive shaft, which we thought was only up to '63. I look forward to hearing from other '64 Buick owners.

    Thanks again,

    -Rusty

    Hello!

    I'm new here, and trying to help get some info for my father's Buick. We need to know what models and years shared the same interior a-pillar trim. We have a lead on some 1964 LeSabre 4-door trim, but we do not know if it will fit his convertible. Any help with this would be great. Thanks!

    -Rusty

    EDIT: Here is a link to some pictures of the car, I know how much my other forums love pictures! http://s985.photobucket.com/albums/ae333/mercgt73/Other%20Car%20Pictures/
