With a design that is larger than life, one must have the right exterior color to match the exuberance the 60s had to offer. One look at this 1960 Buick Electra 225 with its brown exterior, and you know that this classic land yacht design has been enhanced to perfection. A step back to witness this behemoth of a vehicle reveals a clean exterior that dons all its shiny chrome components to perfection and a color matched brown convertible top. The clean factory styling makes its way to this machine's shoes as well. Look closer, and you will find the car hubcaps in place and wrapped with whitewall tyres to bring out that classic car aesthetic to perfection. How does one top the brown exterior of this 60s classic? One might ask, worry not, the answer lies with the two-tone brown and tan interior cabin. Step into the 60s and all its luxury is preserved with this machine's clean and clear interior cabin. The two-tone interior cabin showcases what is most definitely one of the most engaging dashboards in the world; every component has a purpose and oozes with 60s charm and styling.

Engine

This goal of being the best has most definitely taken away from what matters - a refined drive experience that doesn't break the bank. Pop open the hood of this 1960 Buick Electra 225, and matching its large size and features is an equally large 6.5L V8 powertrain waiting to let loose. A silky smooth drive experience can only be experienced when there are no interruptions, this is why this classic American channels all its performance to its rear wheels through an automatic transmission.

The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened.
