With its striking red paint, gleaming chrome bumpers and trim, and
elegant white convertible top, this 1960 Buick Electra 225
Convertible embodies the era's grandeur. The Electra 225 sat at the
pinnacle of Buick's lineup, and this drop-top showcases why with
its blend of luxury and style. The vibrant red body is complemented
by the powder-coated 15" wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 whitewall
tires, while an extra set of hubcaps adds a touch of classic
flair.
The red and white leather interior invites you to settle into the
split-bench seat and soak in the vintage atmosphere. The column
shifter and removable console add a touch of convenience, while
power windows offer a taste of luxury uncommon in convertibles of
the era. Although inoperable, the original Sonomatic AM radio
maintains the authentic feel, but fear not - a hidden Bluetooth
system with a subwoofer ensures your favorite tunes are always on
hand.
At the heart of this Electra 225 lies a numbers-matching 401 V8
engine, topped with a single 4-barrel carburetor and bearing the
coveted "Wildcat 455" callouts on the air cleaner. Paired with a
smooth Turbine Drive transmission and a 12V electrical system, this
Buick offers a refined driving experience. Power steering and power
drum brakes at all four corners make navigating and stopping a
breeze, while the dual-to-single-to-dual exhaust with a transverse
muffler provides a subtle yet distinct soundtrack.
