1960 Buick Electra 225 History

The 1960 Buick Electra 225 received a minor facelift with a concave grille and horizontal headlights centered by Buick's then-new "Trishield" logo. which is still in use today. Reintroduced to Electras and other Buicks for 1960 were the chrome VentiPorts first introduced in 1949 and last seen in 1957. Electra and Electra 225 models featured four VentiPorts on each front fender while lesser LeSabre and Invicta models had three VentiPorts. Electras featured wider rocker panel bright moldings and the Electra script on the front fenders ahead of the wheelhouse. Electra 225s featured a badge that was circled on the deck lid. The Electra 225 name was found on the front fenders in place of the Electra name.

Inside. a revised instrument panel featured a "Mirromatic" speedometer for which the lens could be adjusted to better visibility to suit the driver. A new two-spoke steering wheel with horn bars was introduced. replacing the time honored horn ring then still common to most automobiles. Brisbane cloth interiors graced closed models while the convertible was trimmed in leather. Convertibles also had a two way power seat adjuster and power windows standard.

The bucket seat option introduced on Electra 225 convertibles in 1959 was now available on Electra coupes and included a center consolette with storage compartment. Standard Electra features included windshield wipers. trip mileage indicator. cigar lighter. dual sunshades. Step-On parking brake. dual horns. a single-key locking system. Twin-Turbine automatic transmission. Foamtex seat cushions. electric clock. trunk light. license plate frames. glovebox light. power steering and power brakes. In addition Electra 225s had back-up lights. a Glare-proof rear view mirror. parking brake signal light. safety buzzer. map light and Super Deluxe wheelcovers as standard equipment.


The Electra 225 Convertible had leather interior. power windows. a power-operated top. Super Deluxe wheel covers. an outside rear view mirror and the Safety Group. Standard equipment on all premium Buicks also included a padded dashboard. power steering. power brakes. two-speed wipers and dual exhaust outlets.


Commonly referred to as 'Deuce and a Quarter. the nickname and '225' series designation came from its 225-inch length. The model is easily recognizable by the Electra 225 badge circled on the deck lid and name found on the front fenders.

The Electra 225 convertible was powered by a 401 cubic-inch V-8 engine that developed 325 horsepower. It was equipped with all of Buick's standard features. plus back-up lights. parking brake signal light. map light. two-way power seat. power windows and a Glare-proof rear-view mirror. It was trimmed in leather with optional bucket seats. which are included on this Electra.
