The third generation Buick Electras got a pretty serious refresh for the 1969 model year, receiving crisper body lines along the flanks and a more prominent "Sweepspear" styling line.
The Electra 225 was available in the regular, Custom, and Limited trim levels, in increasing levels of opulence.
The 430 cubic inch V-8 that had debuted in the '67 model continued as the sole powerplant option for the Electra. For 1969 it sported a premium-fuel-only 10.25:1 compression ratio, 4-barrel carburetor, single or optional dual exhausts, and an output of 360 SAE gross horsepower. The only transmission available was the TH-400 three-speed automatic.
This Twilight Blue hardtop coupe would have come with a bench front seat with fold-down armrest in either vinyl or cloth, power steering, and finned brake drums at each corner.
This one was photographed in September of 2023, using a Nikon D300S and 17-55mm f/2.8 zoom lens.
