Love that 69 Electra 225. The Buick Electras were always so beautiful with incredible lines.

[@robmastro8620]

Notice that this Electra 225 doesnt have a/c as evident by the lack of a compressor in the engine bay

[@jerrytaylor4078]

My dad had a ‘62 and a ‘66 LeSabre, but he would drool over a Deuce and a Quarter. He would drive his buddy’s car and just have this content look on his face afterwards. By gone era, these are.

I am with you my friend my Dad was a Big Buick fan. He owned the 1969 Buick Electra 225, 1970 Buick Wild Cat, 1973 Buick Electra 225 and a 1973 Buick Skylark! May he rest in peace...

[@57Banjoman]

I had a beautiful '72 225, in saddle and copper-very similar to this one-what a car! I also owned a '68 300 convertible-a beautiful car, but plagued with electrical gremlins. Thanks for the great video!

[@cindylawrence1515]

Yeah, well with certain cars its no good chasing elec problems around the car. You just have to rip out the whole harness and all the components. But THEN you have to replace them with stuff engineered for situations where things Can't go wrong. Like mil spec or severe use Export or off road racing parts etc. Stuff designed where failure is unacceptable or will result in legal action. THEN you get stuff which is SO over specified that the probability of problems is on the "forget about it" level. GM sub systems are pretty solid. Fords and Mopars have years where there are Far more headaches...

My parents bought this exact Antique Gold 225 in 69, but had a black top and black interior. I was a year old. So many memories riding in that car.

[@anniewilkes6011]

Love the 225 had one back in the early 70s. The smoothest ride iv ever owned. Miss that car.

[@iDONTdoFacebook]

That’s the car I learned to drive in when I was 14 years of age back in 1973. My dad had one of these back then (ours was green) and I remember the first time I ever drove a car with me by myself in the driver’s seat (dad in the passenger seat). It was a little-travelled Arkansas highway, a pristine ‘69 Buick Electra 225, and a beautiful Arkansas evening just after supper when dad took me out in the country near our home as the sun was getting low in the sky. I was the solo pilot of that beautiful classic land yacht for 5 or 6 miles! What a memory-what a car! Thanks for sharing this with us Dennis!

[@onlyoneamong300]

My favorite of them all: the 1969 Buick Electra! To me the late 60's and early 70's is when American car design reached maturity. I'm not too much into sporty cars because I prefer comfort and elegance. So, I love the hard top land yachts and fuselage styles because they are large, as a quintessential American automobile should be! Thanks for sharing!

[@nelsona779]

[@tillivanilli6481]

The ´64 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 is a so beautyful car, Jhonny D has a great taste! ;) Especially the Wheels on this great car fits PERFECT. I think THAT´s TASTE! Not these modern wheels with tiny height of rubber on big rims.. That´s something for present cars and then also not too extreme. And on 50-70s cars i think a classic custom wheel option is even the so much better choice than modern low profile tires on big rims. At this Olds you can see how nice a classic custom wheel setup WORKS!
