    1967 Buick LeSabre

    Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Alameda boasts a fine tradition of evil-looking Buicks.


    We've seen this beautifully vile 1970 Skylark and this Energy Crisis-defying 1973 Electra, and today we're adding this waterfront LeSabre. This car lives in an industrial neighborhood on the Oakland Estuary, and it appears to be a replacement for the '64 Oldsmobile Jetstar that once parked on this block.

    The standard engine for the '67 LeSabre was the 220-horse 340-cubic-inch V8. A 3-on-the-tree manual transmission was standard, but we're betting that just about every LeSabre had an automatic.
