In the GM hierarchy, the Electra 225 was positioned above the LeSabre and Wildcat, competing directly with the Cadillac DeVille for buyers who wanted a large, fully equipped American luxury car. The '225' designation came from the car's overall length in inches â?" a number Buick had been using to signal full-size prestige since the late 1950s. By 1970, the Electra 225 had evolved into one of the most comprehensively equipped cars in the entire GM lineup, and the Limited was the top trim within that already-elevated series. What makes this particular example worth studying is how completely it was ordered from the factory.
