My grandfather's last car was a 1961 Electra 225. After he passed away in 1965, it mostly sat around in the yard (my grandmother didn't drive) until 1968, when my mother's car (1961 Buick LeSabre) died (transmission). She bought the Electra 225 from my grandmother and drove it until early 1974, when it had some problem that supposedly couldn't be fixed by the Buick dealer in Champaign, IL (where we were living at the time), so she traded it for a 1968 Electra 225. That thing was HUGE!! She drove it back to NY, then out to L. A. 2 years later, where it proved to be too much car, so she sold it and bought a 1977 Toyota Celica ST coupe (the car I learned to drive on).Looking back, my mother thinks that the mechanics in Illinois just wanted to get their hands on the car :( Years later (late 80s or early 90s), I saw a 1961 LeSabre or Invicta parked near the Sears at the Del Amo Mall in Torrance (CA). So who knows, the Electra maybe could've made it that long (dunno how it would've handled the mountains on the drive to L. A., though) |
