A few Interesting 59 Buick Facts

· * 1959 Buicks had the biggest tail fins of ANY GM car ever built ... the 1959 Cadillac had " taller " fins but the Cadillac fins were DWARFED by the huge square footage of the 59 Buick fins. The Cadillac fins blended into the quarter panel while the Buick fins were the upper half of the quarter panel and in essence ran all the way up to the vent window

· * Buick revived the ULTRA luxurious " Limited " series in 1958 ... in 1959, Buicks received all new name plates ... The Electra 225 was the new Limited series for 1959

· * It is NO coincidence that the 1958 Buick Limited has 15 Chevrons on the rear quarter panel ... and the 1959 Electra 225 convertible has 15 Chevrons covering the front & rear interior panels !!

· * The '59 Electra 225 was designed to go head to head with the '59 Cadillac Eldorado. It was Buick's design team that selected the name Electra 225, it is NO coincidence they chose the name ELectra to go against the ELdorado

* If you could blend a 1958 Buick Limited convertible with a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado convertible ... you would have the 1959 Buick Electra 225 convertible

· * it is believed the ORIGINAL owner of this car was Bob Hope, the Hollywood comedian & movie star. He was under contract with Buick in 1959 to perform advertising & promotional events ... part of the contract included that he would be given for his use a NEW 1959 Electra 225 convertible. When he turned the Buick back into GM, it was purchased by a GM executive who then sold it to a friend in 1961 who loved the car so much, he kept it all these years. I can send you a "picture" taken of the GM Promotional photograph with Bob Hope posing & waving in the Buick ... just need your email address.
