http://www.automk.com/media/2008/09//SD_LeSabre_Stag_494.jpg (http://www.automk.com/thread-65807-1-1.html) Diego, where Brian B captured a very Jalopnik-centric pair of vintage cars (http://www.automk.com/thread-65807-1-1.html): a 1968 Buick LeSabre (http://www.automk.com/thread-65807-1-1.html)and a 1972 Triumph Stag. One is a vast sedan with styling that may have been aimed at old people, but at least they were hip old people (like retired mobsters, etc). The other is a sporty British V8 machine with a reputation for unreliability so awe-inspiring that you can''t help but admire its owner. Good finds! (Buick): I saw this lovely ol'' gal docked in Pacific Beach (http://www.automk.com/thread-65807-1-1.html)and thought you might enjoy. She appears to be original and the relative lack of rust tells me she hasn''t spent her whole life in CO. I''d peg it as a ''68, giving it the 2bbl 350, right? (Triumph) I saw this beautiful Stag, replete with removable HT option, when I went to my neighborhood c-store today. Apart from the dirty water spots and the slushbox, the car is absolutely flawless. Don''t know about you, but I don''t see one of these every day - let alone in such great condition. Hopefully has owned it over the years has been insane enough to keep the original TR 3.0 (http://www.automk.com/thread-65807-1-1.html) liter V8.
