The Buick Electra 225 was produced between 1959 and 1990. The car was named by then Buick President Harlow H. Curtice after his sister Electra Waggoner Biggs. The Electra 225 was offered not only as a sedan, but a coupe, a convertible and a station wagon as well. It is a typical American lowrider that is long and wide – perfectly suited for cruising along the highways. This model was replaced by Buick Park Avenue in 1991.
Coming to this particular model, the 1967 Buick Electra 225 is the third generation model. This car is a soft-top convertible dressed in bronze with a creamy roof. The Electra is powered by a thumping 430 cubic inch 7.0 liter V8 engine that produces a respectable 360 brake horsepower. The engine is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. The interior of the car is also creamy in color. Moreover, this color is also added to the wheels.
The overall condition of the car looks good. It has been well-maintained by the ex-owner. The car has been driven for 120,000 km and is priced at AED 85,000. You can find this car at Wahat Al Aseel Used Cars in Ras Al Khor, Dubai.
