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.

Design features of the 1962 Buick Electra 225 included four ventiports per front fender. The rear fenders had a group of vertical hashmarks, with Electra 225 block letters located just above. The hardtop coupe and hardtop sedan had semi-formal rooflines, while the Riviera Sedan continued to use a six-window pillarless configuration. The wheel covers had gold accent rings.

The convertible had a leather interior while cloth was used on the other body styles. Standard features included power steering, back-up lights, Glare-proof rearview mirror, parking brake signal light, safety buzzer, courtesy lights, power brakes, two-way power seats, power windows, Super Deluxe wheel covers, and custom padded cushions. Other features included Accessory Group options, Safety Option Group, dual speed washers and wipers, and custom moldings.
