The early ’50s were times of recovery after World War II and the industry had just started introducing new shapes and designs. Then the 1951 LeSabre Concept Car arrived and changed everything with its perfect stance, and advanced styling details that would influence the industry for the next decade. From the chrome bumpers to its oversized tail fins, the next decade of Detroit was visible in just one car. The Jet-Age design arrived and was showcased in this model (via Ultimate Car Page).
