My Grandfather had a '59 LeSabre back in the '60s when I was a kid. Brings back memories. In fact, I see one just like it on the right hand side of one of those pics above.
By the way, have you ever read the original book "The French Connection"? The car used to smuggle all that heroin into the country was a '59 or '60 Buick Invicta. Apparently, it had some removable body panels that made it perfect for this use
