MORE VIEWS OF THE 59 BUICK

Another group of views of the 59 Buick. Interesting comment, I have been told countless times about the State Police who used these cars, and had them go airborne and fly off the road.

Having lived through that era, I have no recollection of ever seeing that documented at the time. Same stories abound aboutt he Chevy, but likewise i never saw that documented.

1959 Buick Electra 225

If a car ever personified an era, this luxurious, delta-wing traveling palace was the one to do it.

Luxury at every turn, with the pillow tufted seat cushions, the grab handles in back, automatic transmission, power everything--seats, brakes, steering, entenna, windows, and, certainly, the nail head engine gave it the power to cruise effortlessly.

this is truly a car for the man who had made it, who had reached the top of the professional heap, and didn't care who knew it, but yet a little less ostentatious than the Cadillac.

And, in a real sign of the times, the luxury extended not only to an ash tray on each side of the car, but also a cigarette lighter on each side of the rear, with one mounted on each door pillar.

Truly the lap of luxury, all 225 inches of it--hence the designation, Electra 225.
