1962 Buick Electra 225

The Electra 225 was introduced in 1959 as Buick's top-of-the-line model. In 1961 Buick released their redesigned second-generation Electra 225. The new design eliminated tail fins from the previous model and the car now featured a compact, more rounded design. For 1962, the Electra line was expanded to five body styles, with the second rarest being the Sport Coupe with only 8,922 examples produced. The second-generation Electra 225 was produced through 1964.
