The other day, I had the Discovery Channel on in the background — they were playing a string of car documentaries — and I learned something new: the 1951 Buick LeSabre was named after the F-86 Sabre fighter jet. In 1951, its “aerostyle” looks made the connection pretty clear — especially the oval “air intake” in the front (not really an air intake, by the way, but a place to hide the headlights), the jet-like rear, and the tail fins.
