I owned a 1969 Buick 225 Electra, 4 door. If you went from the drive’s side to the passenger’s side, you were in a different zip code.

Buicks and Oldsmobiles...
The King and Queen of YUGE cars.
Damn, they rode nice. My cousin had a mid 60s Olds Dynamic or Delmont 88. Massive old machine... just awesome.
Makes a Prius want to hide it’s head in Shame... and rightly so.

I had this first but did have a 65 Electra later -- monster car.
The 57 Dodge Coronet was white just like this one. Got it from my dad after he put 110k on it and back in those days, 110k was a lot of miles.
The interlock was broken on the push-button transmission selector and it would start IN GEAR. Wow.

"I owned a 1969 Buick 225 Electra, 4 door. If you went from the drives side to the passengers side, you were in a different zip code." Lol, know what you mean. I had a 1966 Electra 225 (aka Duce & A Quarter). Bought it from a neighbor about twenty years ago for $500. It had the 425 nail head with four barrel. Would still do 120 mph without even breathing hard. Had cold ac. And, had an early version of cruise control which was set kinda like setting an alarm clock by turning a dial on the speedo to desired speed then pushed the dial to set, lived in Midland, Texas at the time and wife and I would drive it to El Paso/Juarez for a weekend of clubbing as we figured no one would want to steal it. Anyway, that ole hog was a great road trip cruiser. Would set the cruise on 80 mph and sit back and let it eat the miles 😏...
