Buick said about its Electra in 1964, “It’s home on wheels to all manner of important people. They like luxury, and figure they’re entitled to it. You’re just as entitled to it as they are.” Feeling entitled to a taste of luxury yourself? It’s your lucky day because this 1964 Buick Electra 225 Convertible is listed for sale on AutoHunter by a dealer in Buffalo, New York.
The Electra 225 served as Buick’s top-tier, full-sized model. Nicknamed the “Deuce and a Quarter,” it stretched 225 inches in length and stood out for its premium comforts as well as its V-8 power. Buick said in advertising, “To impress yourself, this is your car. An Electra 225 is most adept at impressing people, alright – beginning with its owner. How in the world could anyone touch off a 401-cubic-inch Wildcat V-8 and not be impressed? Being in the driver’s seat puts you well up on outside admirers.”
Exterior features of this Electra include chrome bumpers, quad headlights, antenna, dark brown retractable top, driver-side mirror, rocker moldings, rear wheel skirts, dual exhaust outlets, and 15-inch steel wheels wrapped in American Classic whitewall tires. One thing to note: The quad “portholes” on the car’s fenders were purely cosmetic in nature (the only functional portholes in early Buicks were on some 1949-model-year cars). The lowered stance was made possible by a Ridetech air suspension system.
The cabin has black leather-upholstered benches front (split) and rear with a removable front center console. Interior features include air conditioning, Sonomatic AM radio, power windows, power steering, tilt steering column, and power brakes. According to page 12 of the 1964 Electra brochure, a two-way power seat was standard on convertible models, too.
Under the hood is a 401ci “Wildcat 445” V-8 that was rated at 325 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. Fuel delivery is provided by a four-barrel carburetor, and a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. An oil change and fluid check were carried out in preparation for the sale. The odometer shows 73,340 miles, but the title reads mileage-exempt.
The Electra 225 is a stately car that blends both power and presence — for reference, it’s about the same length as a 2026 Chevy Suburban. If you’re ready to make a statement, this drop-top will command attention in all the right ways.
