1978 Buick Electra Limited


The second year of the downsized Electra, 1978 saw the car available in three tiers of luxury: the basic Electra 225, the top-of-the-line Electra Park Avenue, and in the middle was the Electra Limited, like this Medium Blue coupe.


The base motor in the limited was the Buick 350 V-8 with a four-barrel carb making 170 SAE net horsepower, or an optional 185 horse Oldsmobile 403 V-8.

These photos were taken with a Canon EOS 5DS and an EF 24-105mm f/4L IS zoom lens in September of 2021.
