Guest BJM Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 1964 buick electra 225 hardtop convertibleeNow, I know Pontiac made a convertible hardtop for the Bonneville in 1963. What do you guys think about this? It's clearly a convertible but how do you explain that "fitting" hardtop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Interesting. Didn't the 64 electra have skirts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Bryan,You should run up there a take a look. What might worry you is - was this a real convertible and someone fabricated the hardtop, or did someone hack off a hardtop to make a "convertible". I have seen some of those around.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 You can see the top of the conv mechanism and correct rear seat set up for a convertible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty close to me. I asked the seller to firm up on price and he said he has an offer for $2,000 and is looking to get $3,000.I think the Pontiac version was made out of fiberglass so it could be lifted into place by 2 people.64 Electra convertibles typically had/have skirts. Obviously road wheels are not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BJM Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Reminds me of a Thunderbird roof with the Landau bars.Yea, the Landau Bars are not handsome on this set up so I think this is an aftermarket offering. The one photo of the interior of the roof looks to me to be fiberglass. My 1st thought was - do the factory side windows fit snug against the hardtop? It doesn't look quite right.
