Vehicle Original VIN : 813024550 The Buick Electra 225 Convertible was Buick's premier product for 1962. Buicks engineering and design departments were given free reign on its design for 1962. What came about was a car that was low, long and lean, a cleaner styling change from the bulkier cars of 1959 and 60. Buick's greatest engine of the time would be called upon to power the rolling art. The "Wildcat 455", Buick's 401 "Nailhead" cubic inch V8 that boasted 325 horsepower from the factory. Buick transferred the power to its 3 link live rear axle via its Turbine Drive 2 speed automatic transmission which provided nearly seamless gear changes.
