more views of the 75 buick







here is a view of the top, back seat and engine compartment of the 75 Buick Lesabre.

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.

1952 Chevrolet 4 door deluxe sedan



What a great car. Deluxe, with radio, heater, wide white wall tires, fenderskirts, and back-up lights.

It has been completely restored, and has the 216.5 engine. It is a low mileage car, with only 42,000 miles on the odometer.
