This is a very unique Buick. a seldom seen early Electra 225 convertible. The Electra model came into existence in the 1959 model year. replacing the Roadmaster as Buick's top offering. This 2nd year 1960 Electra is in beautiful condition. displaying slight customization touches on a very nice original car. The body has been restored in brilliant red base/clearcoat. The brightwork has  been restored. The mechanicals are excellent. This car is a pleasure to drive. Enjoy our presentation and feel free to contact Dave at 214-213-7072 or Maris at 214-616-2317 with any questions.

Many of our photos of this stunning Buick were taken at the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum. located only minutes from our showroom.

This car attracts so much attention. Close inspection will confirm detailed and straight body panels throughout. with crisp original body lines and styling unlike any other car.

Subtle touches include shaved door handles with a remote door fob. The rear decklid emblem & lettering has been shaved as well as Electra 225 from the body sides. The body lines & beautiful brightwork have been retained.

The interior is in beautiful condition. restored in red & white & displaying very well.

The dash retains its unique original features. freshly revised for the 1960 model year. Newly featured is the "Mirrormatic" Speedometer. basically a vintage "Heads-Up" display. the projected image on the lens could be adjusted to suit the driver. This car also features the speed alert buzzer. You turn the dial to the desired speed. If you reach that speed. a buzzer will alert you.

The upholstery shows very well. front to back as does the carpeting. The driver's seat is power operated.

Slight changes for the 1960 model year included a re-designed grille & the new prominent Buick logo. Buick's new advertising slogan was "Buick's All-Time Best!" 

1960 would be the first year of the Buick Tri-Shield. still in use.  

Under the prominent hood resides Buick's powerful 401 Nailhead V8. factory rated at 325 horsepower. This powerplant runs out very smooth and really moves this Electra 225 down the road with ease. The power brakes work great too. They feature Buick's unique finned aluminum 12-inch drums. a favorite of old time hot rodders. Be sure you play our video of this Buick.

Further inspection of the engine compartment will confirm solid original sheetmetal throughout the firewall. inner fenders. and core support.

The original trim identification plate & VIN plate are intact and legible.  

The four venti-ports will remind classic car buffs of the Roadmaster. rightly so considering the Electra replaced the model line. Lesser LeSabre and Invicta models displays three ports.

1960 would mark the last appearance of Buick tail fins.

The 15-inch chromed reserve wheels are fitted with Coker Wide White Radial tires. They look great paired with the factory fender skirts and Electra 225-specific brightwork.

The trunk is finished out and very clean.

The door panels are custom-upholstered & feature the Electra 225 badging. The door undersides are solid.

The undercarriage displays original flooring and framework throughout. This underbody is in exceptional condition. The front & rear suspension are in great shape. This car appears to have always been a dry climate example. The dual glasspack exhaust gives the 401 Nailhead a perfect tone at cruise or under throttle.  

These are Buick's 12-inch finned aluminum drum brakes that the old time hot rodder's dream about.

The power-operated convertible top works as it should and is in great shape.

We have a white convertible top boot to stretch over the top assembly.
