Great pictures of the 1951 LeSabre concept car here:

The front has a fake air intake that looks like it could have come from a jet, and of course at the back, to paraphrase Colonel Kurtz, "the fins, the fins"
It's interesting that GM decided that LeSabre was one word.
Further thread creep. GM indulges in "badge engineering" like BMC used to do with Austin and Morris. So the Oldsmobile equivalent of the LeSabre was called, wait for it, the Cutlass.
I used to own an early 90s Cutlass station wagon, which my kids were allowed to drive. They were embarrassed to be seen in "The Thing" as they referred to it. They told me years later that they used to leave it unlocked, hoping someone would steal it! No such luck.
P.S. I've just noticed there is an aviation link at the end of the page referenced above, which will take you to scanned pages of ads from the April 1930 Candian Aviation magazine
