With a name like Electra, this car is sure to be an interesting lady! The lady in question is Buick’s full-size offering from 1959 to 1990. Produced over six generations, the Electra was named after a Texan sculptor and socialite called Electra Waggoner Biggs. This lady was, incidentally, the sister-in-law of then-GM president Harlow H. Curtice. This lady must have been quite a charismatic person, because the Lockheed Electra airliner is also supposedly named after her! That’s why we’re sure that you’ll find this 120,000-mile 1970 Buick Electra 225 to be an interesting and characterful American classic car to own and drive. We’re told that all maintenance is up to date as well, making this car a great buy.
This yellow 1970 Buick Electra 225 comes from the third generation of the marque, and sits pretty on its wire wheels. You’ll also have noticed that the car is a convertible, with a black canvas top. Since the Electra was Buick’s top-range full-size car, the convertible top is, as you’d expect, power-operated. So there’s no need to get your hands dirty with deploying or lowering it when needed. Instead, you can push a button and let the electrics do their thing. The four-seat interior of this 1970 Buick Electra 225 is an opulent affair in black with eye-catching yellow piping. There’s some wood trim as well, since wood is always a sign of luxury in the automotive world. The car’s dashboard remains original, right down to the push-button radio, but there’s a more modern Pioneer head unit in the center console, with a USB port and AUX input. There’s also air conditioning and heating, if the choices on the driver side-mounted ventilation system control panel are all functional.
Powering this 1970 Buick Electra 225 is a massive V8 that displaces 455ci and is factory rated for 370 horsepower. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a 3-speed TH400 automatic transmission for that signature laid-back driving experience that befits a full-size car of this ilk. However, it uses drum brakes, so you’d better be smooth with your driving. Who wants to hustle a large luxury car anyways? It's always better to prolong the journey and enjoy the ambiance.

Finished in an elegant white exterior with a black vinyl interior and matching black convertible soft top, it rides on classic 15-inch steel wheels adorned with full Buick chrome hubcaps. Power-assisted drum brakes at all four corners ensure confident stopping, while rear-wheel drive delivers the traditional, commanding driving experience of a full-size American luxury convertible.

The 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible represents a distinctive moment in prewar American automotive design, blending elegant Art Deco styling with the smooth, streamlined proportions that defined Buick’s entry-level luxury models of the era. While Buick was known for refinement and engineering sophistication in the 1930s, this example advances that legacy by integrating modern performance and comfort into a classic platform.

Buick’s GS or Gran Sport tag was initially applied to the automaker’s Skylark model in the Sixties, before extending to cover hot variants of the Riviera, Wildcat and Century. Choosing a GS Buick meant that you were availing yourself to some pretty impressive and giant-killing performance. Here, we’ve got a 1966 Buick Skylark GS for sale from what better place than Indianapolis!

The Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.

The Oldsmobile Cutlass is a car that’s named after a fighter jet which was named after a nautical sword! Isn’t that interesting? Made between 1961 and 1999, the nameplate has been seen in the compact, midsize and personal luxury segments over time. Earlier generations such as this second-generation 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible were solid midsize contenders in their time.
