The king of full-size Buicks in the middle to late 1960s was the Electra 225. At 18 feet. 8 inches long. the Electra was Buick's largest vehicle in 1965. The model year brought the same kind of redesign that characterized GM's entire lineup that year. with the space-age. rocket-inspired lines of the Kennedy years being replaced by the hallmark coke-bottle styling of the muscle car era. Buick's trademark ventiport holes in the fenders were now so stylized that they're easy to miss in cars from this era.

Buick offered the Electra a four-door sedan or hardtop. or as a two-door coupe or convertible. As the big car. the Electra featured power everything. a cigar lighter for the back seat. a nice interior. and woodgrain accents on the dashboard. Two trim levels were offered. with the uplevel Custom trim featuring plusher upholstery. Electras also came with distinctive rear wheel skirts filling the aft wheel arches.

Under the hood. the Electra 225 offered Buick's standard 401-cid “Nailhead” V-8 at 325 hp. Optional 425-cid Nailhead V-8s with one or two carburetors offered 340 or 360 hp. respectively. That power was delivered to the rear wheels through GM's standard Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission. Electra buyers needed all that horsepower. as the vehicle weighed in at a hefty 4. 00 pounds.
