The Buick Electra was a full-size luxury line built between 1959
and 1990. The President of the Buick Division at the time, Harlow
Curtice, named the car after his sister-in-law, Electra Waggoner
Biggs. Like other GM brands, the C-body line was completely
restyled in 1971. These massive vehicles featured all the comforts
and power available in the day when the price per gallon at the gas
pump was irrelevant. Under the hood of this 1973 Buick Electra
Limited breaths a 455 cid V8 rated at 315 gross hp (250 net
installed to the drivetrain) mated to a 3-speed automatic
transmission. The new power rating system started in 1972. This
Blue/Blue survivor is a numbers-matching and the owner reports only
41,069 actual miles. Features include AC, power steering, power
brakes, power windows, power seats and AM/FM stereo. Recent
upgrades include a new fuel tank, brakes and AC components. This
classic Buick is located at our Milwaukee showroom. You can view
