- This 1968 Buick Electra 225 a.k.a Deuce and a Quarter makes for a great boulevard cruiser and is sure to be a winner at any classic car show. With only 17k (believed to be) original miles this car is in beautiful shape and would make an excellent addition to any car collection.

My pop's owned a 225 same color , Black leather interior, Black Vinyl roof and Dish rims, that is a Beautiful ride 👍👍👍‼️
My father owned a 1967 Buick Electra 225 four door sedan. Gorgeous automobile 🚗😊❤
We had one when I was a kid-yeah I'm old. The only difference is ours had matching gold brocade interior and thinner whitewalls. (455 engine and 19 miles to the gallon highway.) It was an exceptionally comfortable car for road trips.
67 and 68 Electra 225 and Limited such sleek beautiful styling for such a big car.The girl isn’t bad either 😁🇺🇸
68, duce in a quarter as we called it back in the day, class all the way, power, comfort and style the way buick knew how to make not luxury cars, but luxurious cars.
Deuce n a quarter hell yes up north language
the 68 Electra was one of the best looking Electras. My Parents had a 69 Buick Electra Limited, and they loved it. They liked it so well, they kept it for years, even though they bought a new Riviera in 81. Several friends and family liked our Electra so well, they bought one too
Boring
itsmegp46 then dont' read it!
califdad4 Agreed. This was the year that Buick ascended Cadillac in beautiful style lines and charm. I just purchased a Factory original '68 Electra 225 Hardtop Coupe Custom with under 50k original miles... These cars are quickly becoming the car show/cruise-in charmers!
A living thing, creature of the road, big grinning muscular animal. Absolutely gorgeous.
Great to see something like this again!
the late 60s early 70s electras are beautiful in 4doors and even brown!!nice!
The Duece was NEVER a 4 door
Kendall Smith were lookin at one
@@kendallsmith1458 Huh yes they were,my Dad had 2 of them.

What do you think this is?!
Very nice photography!!!
I had one in the same color about 15 years ago-so much fun to drive.
Great model year for this tobacco brown 1968 Buick Electra 225. Stunning boat on 4 wheels. Silky smooth ride. Lovely car in all aspects.
Bet that's a nice smooth rider! Buicks from the '60s are wonderful to drive on the highway. I have never experienced it, but I can picture it! I would love to get behind the wheel of that!
Awesome vid !! I would use the later Buick mags and save those hubcaps. I had a 68 Electra convertible. My favorite car.
da brothers in my hood in da 70s would dress them out real cool. sweet stuff lady thanks..
When I was little my parents had a 65 and a 74 Buick Electra 225. Sparkly cherry red, and sparkly dark blue, respectively.
Really nice 68!
Very nice ride.
Ain't nothing better than a big buick. They were rockets on the road and got decent fuel economy.
My parents were "Buick People" Growing up we had a 64'Electra, 68'Electra, 73'Limited, 80'Park Ave. Then dad decided on a 87'Cadillac Broham DeElagance, mom decided on an Olds 98...
Beautiful car 🤩
Sweet ride
The 225 aka the battleship on wheels this thing is massive I remember my great granddad having 1 wen I was 5
That's a beauty.
Enjoying grandma car
I agree, late 60’s whitewall tires were 3/4” down to 3/8”. Tough to get the right looking tires though
My first car.
Best looking car for under 10000 in my opinion
Me gusta mucho el carro; un Buick Electra 1968; 100%Original
One perty car Grate work.
beautiful..I have a1969 225 430/4 37,000 original miles
That is a beautiful buick...it's great to see a classic car like this with the big white walls. If you could find some 1970s rally rims to go with the white walls oooweeee!
totally agree those rims also fit the lincoln mercury and ford lines of the early 70s same bolt pattern but ford dont fit gm because smaller axle.
In the late sixties redline tires were the thing. Even on the big boats.
rally mags
I don't care if a car has white wall tires or black walls. The rest of the car is perfect. I've always loved these old Buick full-sized cars. :)
funny thing, the car mentioned in a the rap song "my hooptie" is a 68 or 69 buick electra...
Coker tire has the L78 and the G78 with the correct 1 inch or 1 .3 inch whitewall that came orignally with the car. the whitewall is a bit too large. but the car still looks great!! I just finished a light restoration on a California no rust, kept it all original on a 1974 Chevy caprice 4 door hard top in Medium green fully optioned car.I just put on the L78 1 inch whitewall and it really does the car wonders. Had Just Dashes in LA restore the dash and it looks great!! These large 70s 4 doors are really fun !!
My personal opinion? They showed the train because that's how long it was and they showed the jet because you could be traveling at jet speed and wouldn't know it from the inside ! ! !
just got my 68 convertible. ..when its all done ill upload😃
This is a fine example of how pretty GM's cars became under Bill Mitchell's direction at GM's Design Staff during the 60's. This car is stunning and a far cry from the hideous '59 (and '60) wide body Buicks that were designed under Earl's carriage of GM Design.
You've got great taste! But the whitewalls are a little too thick. It is still gorgeous.
Just got a triple black 67, post-less.
I don't care what these electric ,hybrid SUV mpg people say. Nothing runs and drives like one of those era Buicks. Not a daily driver, but it's dam summer weekend car.
2 BEAUTIES a stunning Buick and young Beautiful women driving . I LOVE watching women driving Classic cars . I put myself in this category I am a women and I own 7 classic cars . MRS. M
Who cares about the lady. There could be a fat slob like me in the video driving this car and it still wouldn't change my opinion about the 1968 Buick Electra 225. Great models years up to 1970. 1971-76 are fine too.
Niiiiiiiiice
I've owned two 68s...one green, the other brown(just like that one). is it for sale?
chiefafro9er The Green is awesome. Officially called Tarpon Green Mist, which is the color of my 68. '68 225 2-D Hardtop owner here. Found mine with 48,000 original miles all original color pristine condition. The '68's are the nicest Electra models ever made. Perfect lines everywhere!
As these become more discovered, I've noticed the prices are steadily increasing with the demand. People are getting tired of the same old Camaros, Chevelle's and 442's and moving up to these off the radar models that offer big block power and endless comfort with great looks.
chiefafro9er i have 68 225 sedan in near mint condition one owner untill me & 82000 original miles 4192650289
Absolutely beautiful. Only one problem, it’s not an Oldsmobile
Lol.
Duh...
That’s as close to an Oldsmobile you can get. Many interchangeable parts.
buick mags is the problem
I like the video, but the background music seemed out of place. Why not use something from the late 60s?
+Greg Olotka Sorta like an old "Ace Of Base" video, isn't it?
love the 4 doors over fucking boring covertibles..
humdidoadi Nothing wrong with convertibles if that's what someone is into, but I'm with you on having a 4 door. To me it makes no sense to have a car that long with only two doors.
got a sage green 68 with white guts 100 spokes and 5 inch wide whites 70 thousand original miles bad m.f
Verzell King In 1968 there was no “Sage” Green color in the Buick lineup. But there was the “P” Code color of “Tarpon Green Mist”. My ‘68 Electra 225 Coupe is this color and it is a very appealing hue.
all these cars are in the Midwest,,, Florida or texas never in new England or Michigan
Course not. The were rust buckets up there. Now they're all gone...
Here’s a video with pics of my ‘68 Electra Coupe... ruclips.net/video/3vTw0z-rcnA/видео.html
Do a donut!!
I have a 69 Electra
This is a very sensitive treatment of an under appreciated marque. Look at my 1969 Buick Electra GSX, which is anything but period correct.
look at a 74 apollo gsx
When did Buick ever make an Electra GSX?
get rid of those 50;s style white walls.
Best looking car for under 10000 in my opinion
