Old Cars has everything for the vintage car enthusiast

Car of the Week: 1951 Buick XP-300 concept Before leaving Buick in 1951 to move up the GM ladder, Charles Chayne approved construction of the XP-300 and a companion dream car called the LeSabre. There was a time when the people who ran automobile companies were genuine automotive enthusiasts. Charles A. Chayne, Harley J. Earl and Ned F. Nickles were three of those enthusiasts whose passion for beautiful cars led to the creation of the Buick XP-300 (originally labeled XP-9), a true dream machine. The year was 1951, a time when it was hard to imagine a 16-foot-long convertible that glided only 6-1/2 inches above the ground. Part sports car and part space ship, the car had an "electric shaver" grille, a wraparound windshield, a tri-finned tail with the electric radio antenna protruding from the center fin and flashy side trim that would have looked right at home on Buck Rogers' interplanetary cruiser. It even had push-button power seats and windows!   See More Make your car our "Car of the Week"  If you've got an old car you really love, we want to hear about it! Click here to submit your ride!
