I'm doing the typical Vegas holiday for my 40th later this year and one of the things I plan to do is hire a classic car from LA and drive up to SF.

I've never driven a classic American car before so am not too sure what to hire or what to expect. The original plan was to hire a classic mustang but after mooching over various sites I'm quite taken to something like this

1968 Buick Lesabre

Any suggestions? Or can anyone recommend any good hire companies in LA? Also considering I'm used to the typical UK 5 door saloon, will something like this be difficult to drive? It looks huge!!

thanks

That looks mouth watering!

I don't think you'll have any problems if you drive like it should be driven, waft around in style. The cars from the 60s should be already quite easy and comfotable to drive. The roads and parking lots are much bigger over there, and the visibility out of these older cars is also better. Take it and enjoy the ride!
cheers, personally I can't wait smile
