1967 Buick Electra Convertible
Buick’s flagship rode a 126-inch wheelbase and stretched nearly 224 inches overall, establishing its presence through sheer size and luxury appointments. The divided split grille dominated the front fascia, while a sweeping creaseline ran along the body flanks.
Full-width taillights wrapped the rear panel, with “Electra 225” script on each rear fender referencing the model’s approximate overall length.
Under the hood sat Buick’s largest powerplant of the era, the 430 cubic inch Wildcat V8 producing 360 horsepower with 475 lb-ft of torque through a Rochester four-barrel carburetor. Power flowed through the Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission to the rear wheels.
The convertible was offered exclusively in the Custom Series, featuring upgraded cloth-and-vinyl interior trim with optional bucket seats.
Standard equipment included power steering, power brakes with 12-inch finned aluminum drum brakes, and an extensive list of comfort and convenience features.
Buick produced 100,304 Electra 225 models across all body styles for 1967. The convertible remained in the lineup through 1970, after which it was dropped as full-size American convertibles fell out of favor.
