In this review, Doug DeMuro takes us back to the late 1980s with the 1989 Buick Lasaber T-Type, a car that represents America's bold attempt at blending luxury with performance. This particular model, currently up for auction on Cars and Bids, boasts a 3800 V6 engine, enhanced cooling, and transmission for that extra oomph on the road. The exterior of the Lasaber T-Type is adorned with striking features like alloy wheels, a front air dam, a rear spoiler, and black trim, giving it a sporty and aggressive look that sets it apart from the standard Lasaber.
Inside the car, you'll find a mix of luxury and simplicity, with leather-wrapped elements, power mirrors, windows, and locks, as well as power seats for added comfort. The dashboard may not be the most exciting, but it gets the job done with a basic gauge cluster and a surprisingly complex stereo system complete with a mysterious chromium dioxide button for cassette tapes. Moving to the back seat, you'll discover ample space for passengers, though amenities are scarce, highlighting the car's focus on performance over plush interiors.
As Doug explores the quirks and features of the Buick Lasaber T-Type, he uncovers unique details like the unconventional license plate mounting system and the hidden trunk keyhole, adding character to this classic American coupe. The review also delves into interesting papers associated with the car, including an advertisement comparing it to NASCAR and an owner's manual with a quirky cartoon emphasizing the importance of seat belt safety. Ultimately, the Buick Lasaber T-Type stands as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era when big sedans and coupes ruled the roads before SUVs took over the automotive landscape.
