For Sale: 1975 Buick Electra in Mooresville, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

975 brought about changes in all of General Motors C-body cars. In 1975 all Electra 225 coupes had fixed rear side windows and center posts. 1975 also brought along a newer front end and interior design. Rectangular headlights became standard on all GM C-body cars along with many others. This supposedly would allow engineers to lower the front end to reduce wind resistance but this wasn't very apparent with the new design. The Electra received a new metal "eggcrate" style grille which covered most of the front end and wrapping under the headlights. The grille included running lights on either side. There was a choice of a base model Electra 225 whose trim and appointments were upgraded to the same level as the previous year's Electra 225 Custom an upscale Limited and the Park Avenue. The 1975 Electra was also the longest Buick ever built at 233.4 inches (5928mm) which is over 19 feet. These cars dwarfed the newer front-wheel drive Electras and Park Avenues in sheer size and weight.Power windows and a power driver's seat became standard on all Electra models in 1975. Also new to the standard equipment list were radial-ply tires. The 1975 Electra was one of the first GM vehicles to offer an Air Cushion Restraint System or "airbag".Inside a new flat instrument panel (shared with LeSabre Estate Wagon and Riviera) with horizontal sweep speedometer (silver facing with black lettering) replaced the wrap-around cockpit dash of previous years and door panel trim was revised. The speedometer was scaled back from 120mph (193km/h) to 100mph (161km/h) and kilometer readings were added. The 1975 Buick Electra Limited got an all new interior.Technical changes for 1975 included the addition of a catalytic converter and electronic ignition to not only meet the stringent 1975 and later emission requirements but also extended routine maintenance intervals and improved fuel economy and driveability which was a must in the era immediately following the 1973-74 energy crisis but also spelled the end of dual exhaust systems and mandated the use of unleaded gasoline as the converter could be rendered useless if contaminated with lead. Axle ratios were also numerically lowered to aid in improving gas mileage. The 455 four-barrel V8 now rated at 205hp (153kW) was retained as the standard and only available engine.
