Vehicle Description
This 1969 Buick Electra 225 convertible is the cool triple-black
machine that's loaded with all the best features, including big V8
power and an A/C interior. And it's even a one-owner car with all
the right documentation.
The 1960s belonged to Buick, and they closed out the decade with
their top-dog convertible in a big way. There's just something
about how the sharply creased fenders beautifully incorporate the
bright chrome bumpers in the design to give this an authoritative
presence. This combines with the trim line that gracefully wraps
around the front wheel well and then leaves a sporty streak down
the profile. Buick truly had style. Wire wheel covers, fender
skirts, and a crisp black folding roof add to this elegance. Plus,
it's all wrapped in a more recent application of black paint that
has a shine worthy of this sunshine-friendly droptop.
Inside is a well-preserved package that completes the desirable
triple black (exterior, interior, and roof.) The Electra 225 was
Buick's most expensive convertible in '69. In fact, only the
Riviera was more expensive that year, and only by around $50. So
when you paid big money, you expected a luxury interior like this.
The black leather looks original, and so you get to appreciate the
intricate pattern on the seats and artful insert on the door
panels. This full-size convertible has plenty of room for family
and friends, but the driver will always remain king. That's why you
have a fold-down armrest for individual comfort, and the seat power
adjusts to your position. The factory steering wheel gives you a
clear view to the full gauge panel. Plus, the instrument cluster is
built around you with everything in easy reach from power locks to
the AM/FM stereo that spells B-U-I-C-K in the presets. But your
favorite luxury options will be the power convertible top and power
windows. Together, they mean you never have to leave the driver's
seat to go from enclosed luxury to a wind-in-your-hair experience.
Since the factory air conditioning is blowing cold with modern
R134a, you can enjoy this convertible well into the summer.
This premium Buick retains its correct-style 430 cubic-inch V8.
It's a great displacement to have, because it was only produced for
a few years. The big V8 looks great with Buick's red block paint
and matching valve covers radiating power from within the dark
engine bay. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, this motor knew
how to keep this premium droptop running in the sporty and
sophisticated crowd. Add in a three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, power brakes, and Buick's legendary ride, and
you've got the perfect all-day cruiser.
Since this is a one-owner car, all the right documentation come
with the sale. It includes the factory buildsheet, dealer invoice,
original bill of sale, and owner's manual packet. This Electra 225
convertible is a rare and premium treat at an obtainable price,
