After weathering the Great Depression and World War II, this long, luxurious concept car was a sight for sore eyes. But beyond its creamy white curves, the Buick XP-300 hid a bounty of excessive peacetime engineering. But if ever there were a car from the future – the 1951 Le Sabre was it: specialty metals like magnesium and aluminium, 325 horsepower and capable of running on gasoline or alcohol.
