    Torn front seat. Low-optioned as far as I can see, which is probably unusual for a Luxus. Just A/C and AM/FM radio. No cruise nor tilt wheel, no power windows or locks. Probably the least desirable body style in a kind of a baby-poop yellow color. But other than the driver's seat, very nice condition.

    I do like how it comes with three spare tires. :)

    and what looks like 2 bias ply snow tires. At least the asking price is reasonable for the condition and desireability of this one.

    Looks like it has had the front bumper filler has been replaced at some point. I see a Power front bench seat and what may be cruise control on the blinker switch. But yes pretty low option for the model. Strange option of a power seat, I would rather have power windows or locks on a 4-door.

    Wonder why a car from Springfield, Ohio (County 12, Clark county), last registered in 2014 finds itself in Philly? Deceased family member? It does show some rust on at least the right rear quarter around the wheel opening along with the tattered front seat. Possibly an older person that had difficulties "sliding" into the seat is my guess. I do think it has tilt wheel as the column does have the split to allow the tilt to work.

    Back in the day when you could order one exactly how you wanted.

    No transducer so if it has cruise it isn't factory. The power split bench is nice, but kind of strange to see that option and no other real ones. I'm fairly certain it's a tilt column because there are 2 levers on it even if the tilt one doesn't seem the correct size for a typical Saginaw column. It's a nice car, but yeah, a 4 door in that awful yellow just isn't a highly desirable model.

    Hamilton, your new cruising vessel has arrived. It is 14 years newer, but I think you will like it.....

    I like the 74 front end, the split headlights are just cool.

    Looks like the passenger rear door has been painted with poor color match.

    I believe this paint color is Sand Beige, which carried over to 1975. This color was chosen on the Auto World 1975 Estate Wagon IMG_0402.JPG IMG_0403.JPG die cast release last year. The color looks good with woodgrain. Maybe if this Lesabre had a vinyl top it would be broken up a bit, doesn't look the best on this.
