A long-running model from Buick was the Buick Electra. Introduced in 1959 and produced for over three decades until 1990, the Electra spanned six generations of full-sized luxury car craftsmanship. The Electra is thus considered a collectible, especially for the first few generations. What we have in store for you is a highly desirable third-generation 1966 Buick Electra 225 with just 82,500 miles on the clock after 55 years on the road, it is also available to be seen in the Peach State, Georgia.
Exterior and Interior
This generation of the Buick Electra was one of the earliest models to use the Coke Bottle design by Buick. The front fascia features quad headlights arranged horizontally. The hood front extremity features the Buick hood ornament along with the “BUICK” lettering below it. Encompassing the rear this 1966 Buick Electra features a full-width taillight and trunk lid that included an “Electra 225” script on the right corner. The car features frameless windows glass, a rare design in the ’60s. The car is painted in a luxurious green, which blends perfectly with chrome bumpers and trims. The seats of the car have been treated to two-tone diamond stitch seats in green, with the interior bedecked in shades of green. The Electra 225 script is situated on the passenger side of the dash, whilst a wood trim runs the width of the dash. The carpets are done in green with the Buick logo on them. The air conditioning is in working order along with the heater and a modernish JVC cassette player with AM/FM. A full spare with a green and white tire cover is present for extra authenticity.
Engine
The third generation of the Electra was available with a slew of high-capacity engine options but only one transmission. This 1966 Buick Electra is powered by a 425ci (7.0L) Nailhead V8 mated to a 3-speed TH-400 automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes are standard on this Electra. A recent oil change was done on the car with a new battery replacement. Power output is officially rated at 340hp with the four-barrel carburetor. Stopping power is courtesy of front disc brakes with rear drum brakes.
Inspection
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. The car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
