rocketraider Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 That was supposed to be a Skylark and Skyhawk only color, but this makes the second Electra I've seen in it. Wears it well. Needs whitewalls to break it up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 I believe old photos. He said he has owned it 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 This is an interesting find. I wonder what the buyer's thinking was, special-ordering a big coupe in a color designed for small, sporty cars. In some of Buick's 1970's literature, they actually state that colors intended for other models could be put on a car for extra cost. This is too bright for my taste, but if someone else owned it, I'd like seeing it at a show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Not a fan of that color on this car, though it looks like it's in nice condition. 18 hours ago, rocketraider said: Needs whitewalls to break it up though. Actually, I think I like the blackwall/road wheel combination on this, given the color and the fact that it's a coupe. Maybe the owner was inspired by @JohnD1956! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
