Dave and Stephanie, along with Dave’s grandfather, are driving from New York to the Motor City in Pops’ 1970 LeSabre for the phenomenal Woodward Dream Cruise. They’ll also be hitting some car-buff points of interest like the Henry Ford Museum and the Ford Rouge assembly plant along the way. The trek has been going well so far–last I heard, they’ve made it to Ohio, and that was yesterday. Expect some great pics and blogs next week from one of the greatest gearhead events of the year!

Many do not even know that the Buick division of General Motors produced the Grand National on a platform other than on the Regal, but there was a very unique Grand National built in late 1985: the 1986 LeSabre Grand National. This was the debut of GM’s new full-size FWD platforms, and the two door Buick LeSabre (along with its corporate cousin, the Oldsmobile Delta 88) proved to be quite slippery in wind tunnel tests. We have had this question in this series before, but can a front wheel drive two-door really be considered a muscle car?
