1959 Buick Electra 225


Recommended Posts

Finished in rarely seen "Wedgewood Blue", this newly-offered 225 looks pretty sensational. 

 

If I were a buyer (and I'm not), I would wish to replace the aftermarket rear view mirrors with the more accurate reproductions available from CARS.  That assumes that the CARS mirror bases could be mounted in the same holes drilled in the car's doors.  The exhaust tips for the dual exhaust system are also incorrect.

 

Unfortunately, the restored dash pad is far from a faithful replica of the original, but I believe that a '59 enthusiast in Sweden is now producing a more authentic replacement.

 

Regardless of these few issues, this is an impressive-appearing Buick that will likely garner plenty of attention on Ebay, and I would not be surprised if it sells for the $36K Buy-it-Now price.
