SALE PENDING!! This is a wonderful example of the very rare and

　　ultraMid-Century Modern 1959 Buick Electra 225 Convertible. This is

　　a very nice, restored as needed convertible that has been cared for

　　through the years. With new paint and leather interior, it looks as

　　nice as it drives. But most importantly, we believe this to be one

　　of the very best design statements of its time. This is an

　　important Buick that can be shown at regional concours events or

　　enjoyed as a wonderful weekend cruiser. This Buick was built at the

　　Flint, MI plant and is one of less than 5,500 convertibles built

　　for the model year. The odometer shows 68,000 miles and has been

　　certified as the total mileage from new. We helped source this

　　Buick from its previous owner, Gary Guhman of Winter Park, FL and

　　Rhode Island, on the 13th of May, 2015. It had been certified as

　　having 66,267 miles from new on the 17th of August, 2006. We

　　retained Tom Laferriere to inspect the Buick and it easily passed

　　his inspection as a nice low mileage original car that had only

　　been updated as needed. Our client, Mike Goh, exported the Buick to

　　be part of his collection of 1950's American classics in Malaysia.

　　Over the past year, the Buick has benefitted from a repaint and new

　　leather upholstery as well as significant mechanical restoration.

　　The livery of this 1959 Electra is nothing other than a design

　　masterpiece. The two very simple straight lines make up the

　　entirety of its gorgeous design. This is Jetsons at their best! The

　　original Artic White paint (Paint Code C3) has been upgrade

　　slightly to a modest pearl white. This looks very modern and looks

　　sharp. The paint has all been redone over the last year and has

　　terrific shine and luster. The chrome and stainless-steel trim are

　　good to very good and appear to be original. Certain of the pot

　　metal chrome plated pieces have some pitting, but mostly not

　　noticeable without close scrutiny (We are showing 114 detailed

　　photos in the gallery on our website). We love the rocker panel

　　stainless detail for the Electra 225 (225 signifying the overall

　　length of 225 inches of this gorgeous car). The white vinyl

　　convertible power top works well and is in very nice condition. The

　　wide white wall tires look correct and great but are likely at an

　　age where they should be replaced. Overall, the exterior of this

　　Buick is very sharp! Everyone loves this car! The interior of the

　　Electra 225 is beautiful in Red Leather seats and bolsters (Trim

　　Code 870). The red leather has all been redone over the past six

　　months and is beautiful. The red loop carpet is also in very nice

　　condition and is a mix of original and correct replacement. The red

　　vinyl top boot looks great and fits well. This Buick came complete

　　with its Sonomatic AM radio and optional rear speaker (in addition

　　to the CD player in the glovebox). Overall, the interior is in very

　　nice condition throughout. The engine compartment has been detailed

　　and is good for regional shows and tours. The coolant has been

　　replaced with Evans, which is the best you can get. The venerable

　　401 CID Wildcat V8 fires right up and has excellent power without

　　any smoke or noises. The 401 produces 325 hp and a massive 445 ft

　　lbs of torque, making this a terrific car to pull a vintage boat or

　　airstream! The Twin Turbo Hydramatic transmission also functions

　　well. The chassis is well undercoated and appears without rust. The

　　present owner invested $30,000 mechanical restoration to ensure

　　that this is a great driving Buick. Harbor Restoration in Florida

　　did most of this restoration work. In addition, much of the

　　suspension was replaced within the past year. This is a very nice,

　　low mileage example that has been well cared for. This Buick comes

　　complete with an owner's manual and a CD player that has been

　　installed in the glove box. We have this priced well as the Hagerty

　　No. 2 Value for this rare Buick is $85,000. See listing here: 1959
