This Buick is a super barn find after being in storage for many years. We acquired the car from the original owner who purchased it new. Car has been serviced from storage and runs and drives very well!! Older repaint with a super straight body. Very limited production in 1967 with only 6,845 produced. The 225 Electra is one of the ultimate classic Buick's being one the last super large road cruisers!! They will only become more desirable as the years go on..
"455 Cubic inch V8 Automatic. This Buick is a super barn find after being in storage for many years. We acquired the car from the original owner who purchased it new."
Sharp car!! Too bad it's got crank windows in it. Probably a guy like my Grandfather ordered it that didn't want power windows because they might break. No power seat either.
The only option that thing has is A/C, and the fact that it's triple black. Unfortunately not much else to support the asking price.
Aren't those the custom door panels and seats? I'm no expert but, I thought the base model had short door arm rests and no door pull handles.
Claiming a 455 might be a mistake, it looks like 430 valve covers, nice looking car. As soon as I saw the post I just knew we would hear about the lack of power windows, seat, bla bla bla. There are some of us who still don't mind cranking the windows up and down, or pulling the handle to slide the seat back and forth. Bob H.
I actually wish my Riv was cranks and not the power windows it has. They always work, and its got old school charm that way.....only normal American cars I'd prefer power windows in is a Cadillac, Lincoln, or Chrysler.
I'll go along with that list but mine also includes Electras and Rivieras or any other top of the line car from any manufacturer. They're supposed to be luxurious. Crank windows in a big 9 ain't cuttin' it for me. But YMMV...
I'll go along with that. I was a bit simplistic in my response, I agree something like and Electra, Invicta, or the like should also have pw. Edit: The Buicks being crank windows wouldn't be a deal breaker on the right car for me, personally. On the three I originally mentioned it would be. Double edit: ok, maybe the Chrysler. But a Lincoln or Caddy has to be power.
Buick was on the same level as Chrysler, so why Chrysler? Now had you said Imperial ithat is another story. Wouldn’t even consider an upper tier Buick without all the toys. Of course I would buy any car without all the toys. I wish I could send the 67 back to the factory for a few more goodies. The beauty of the black 67 coupe is when new it had as much prestige driving down the street as a fancy one, only those close to the owner knew he cheaped out
Buick was only on the same level as Chrysler from 1955 until 1971 when the Imperial was separate and above the Chrysler brand, other wise they were Chrysler Imperials.
You certainly are untitled to your opinion on that , btw, the Imoerail division ran through 75, not 71, the years that there was not an Imperial division You will find Chrysler still had an Imperial most years as there top of the line Chrysler, even in the earlier non Imperial division years Buick firmly even competed directly with the Imperial model with Series 90 and Limited models. The regular Chrysler division never had the same lofty level as Cadillac and Lincoln. You’ll find in many of the training films and literature, Cadillac totally ignored Chrysler but you will find in the same type Buick training the Chrysler was included.
I always thought it was odd that Chrysler, unlike Cadillac or Lincoln, had a lot of down brand cars in their line up. Sure, Cadillac had the Cimmaron and Lincoln had a few that had little other than sheetmetal changed, but those weren’t the pattern. Chrysler has had a parade of rebadged Dodge crapboxes-200, Sebring, PTLoser, Concorde, etc. I guess the ‘non-luxury’ juniors plan does make Buick a closer competitor. (There’s a great writeup in last month’s Hemming’s Classic, by a Buick retiree, about the compromises that hurt the Somerset). Patrick
Chrysler was the main company, same as General Motors or Ford, GM had Cadillac, Buick, Olds, Pontiac, Chery, etc etc, Ford had Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Ford etc etc and Chrysler had Imperial (separate division for a while, Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth etc etc. So the Crysler name was not only a brand but a line. So in name they were more like Ford that they didn't have a umbrella corporate name that differed from any of the models or brands
