For sale in our Milwaukee Showroom is a highly-original 1970 Buick Electra 225. The owner states that the 455 CID V8 engine and 3-speed automatic transmission are the original ones to the vehicle and that the 45,986 miles on the odometer are actual miles. Based on its appearance, it’s more than obvious that this landyacht was rarely driven. The body panels are all original, it has never been on the receiving end of a spray gun, and the interior is stock, save the aftermarket radio. Driving this Elektra is becoming a more and more unique experience as time passes. After the oil crises of the 1970s and 1980s, American consumers had a change of tastes and manufactures listened by producing smaller, economy vehicles. Such was the death of the massive American sedans, landyachts with suspensions smooth enough to make speed bumps obsolete, which allowed even the most finicky baby to remain asleep in the backseat like they’re home in their crib. Point being, these American boats are a thing of the past, even with Americans choosing massive SUVs and pick-ups, there has not yet been a revival of the American landyacht. This Elektra is your chance to own one before they go extinct or skyrocket in value. At almost 19 feet long and almost 7 feet wide, there is a lot of car to see and you can see more than 100 HD pictures of it at GatewayClassicCars.com, as well as a video of it running and driving. If you have any questions about this vehicle or wish to purchase it, please call our Milwaukee Showroom at 262-891-4253 or email
