Buick's plushest model had a wide strip of bright trim along the lower body with vertical "hash marks" interrupting behind the wheelhouse of the rear fender. Standard equipment included those of lower priced Buicks plus power steering, power brakes, a two-speed windshield wiper/washer system, glovebox light, custom-padded seat cushions, back-up lights, glare-proof rearview mirror, parking brake signal light, safety buzzer, courtesy lights, two-way power seat, and power windows. This particular ’61 Buick Electra 225 Convertible is a 100,000 original mile convertible that comes finished in Tampico Red with white top and Red interior. In addition to all the standard equipment listed earlier, the car is loaded with options from the factory that include all E-Z eye tinted glass and windshield, air conditioning (compressor missing), Guidematic automatic headlight dimmer (not working), 6-way power seat adjuster, Wonder Bar radio with electric antenna, Twilight Sentinel automatic headlight turn on (not working), electric clock, trunk light, left-hand outside mirror. The paint is only a few years old and in good overall condition. I have owned the car for around 9 years and have had the following work done: Engine top end rebuilt, new fuel pump, carburetor rebuilt, speedometer rebuilt, front suspension replaced and new original stock dual exhaust exhaust and muffler system, clock and radio rebuilt and the rear bumper was rechromed. Under the hood the big 401 Cu In Nail-head V8 runs great and starts with ease. Transmission front seal is leaking.
