Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a 1967 Electra convertible. This is a fair condition car that is very sound mechanically. The interior is original and very good. The exterior is fair with some rust issues. I just recently found this site, so I may post some more as I start to do some work on the car. I have the rear wheel skirts, but I took them off the car.

Beautiful car Rob. The black over white looks very nice...classy. Please show us more when you get to work on it.
And welcome aboard. Tell us more about yourself and where you're from. We're just one big happy Buick family here. Is this your first Buick. Hopefully you will join the Buick Club of America.
Can't wait to see more smile

Thanks Earl!

This is my first Buick that I have owned although my dad had a 1972 LeSabre when I was growing up.

I live in the Philly area and I look forward to meeting up with other Buick folks in the area. I'll post more pics and info as I dig into the car more.

Thanks again,

Rob

I want to see a picture with the top down. I'll bet the interior is as nice as the outside. Very classy car. I'm definately jealous.

Rob,

Welcome aboard! You will find a wealth of knowledge here as well as a bunch of good natured kidding around. Jump right in.

The car looks great. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Mine is in good shape, but I found a page with the same model and year that really looks sharp. I'd like to get mine to look this good. Check it out for those who are interested in the '67 Electras. This page is from a company that sells US cars in Denmark. Apparently Buicks are becoming somewhat popular over there.

I thought that background looked familiar...Those pictures are from the St. Louis Car Museum. It appears they are advertising on a European website. Smart move, since it does seem these cars are highly desirable over there.
