The style of the delta-winged 1960 Buick is unmistakably 'jet-age.' Quad headlamps are set in simulated twin-jet nacelles. A 'Vista-Panoramic' windshield wraps around and canted tailfins sweep rearward. Buick's 'Tri-Shield' emblem made its debut on the 1960 models and front-fender 'ventiports' returned after a two-year absence. The lineup of 'Buick's All-Time Best' retained the new-in-1959 nameplates: LeSabre, Invicta, Electra, and Electra 225, in ascending order.
This top-of-the-line Electra 225 Convertible, finished in elegant Pearl Fawn, includes a wide array of options: air conditioning, front bucket seats and console, power windows, power antenna, Autronic Eye and Twilight Sentinal. A 401 cubic-inch 'Wildcat' V8 and 'Turbine Drive' automatic transmission, standard on Electra 225, provide an ultra-smooth flow of power. The restoration took four years (and two parts cars) to complete.
