GM's 1977 downsizing crash diet shaved over 11 inches and 800 pounds off the full-size Electra in one model-year leap.
The 1975 Electra 225 was the longest Buick ever built — over 19 feet nose to tail — right before downsizing shrank the whole lineup for good.
A 4,700-pound land yacht doesn't sound quick, but the dual-exhaust 1969 Electra 225 Custom Convertible ran the quarter mile in 15.5 seconds at 90 mph.
Buick only sold a base Electra alongside the Electra 225 for one single year. By 1962 the plain Electra was gone, and the "225" name carried the whole lineup.
'Deuce and a quarter' wasn't just slang — Buick named the Electra 225 after its actual length, over 225 inches bumper to bumper.
