A wonderful original 59 Buick Top of the Line “ Dinosaur “ that will require a mechanical going

through, to wake this Tail Finned Giant from a 45 year hibernation along with some care & attention

to details to make her really Grand Again, a Very Rare Opportunity to own such an excellent ’59 !

·INTERIOR: BETTER THAN EXCELLENT ! The NICEST original interior I have seen on ANY 59 Electra 225 Convertible.Very minimal wear or aging, one seam does need to be restitched and the rear carpet was removed when put in storage as a precaution, but the rear carpet was lost over the years.In a word, I would describe this ORIGINAL interior as truly MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL …That includes the Dashboard as well !

·BODY:Nice & Straight… The ONLY issue is:At some point someone tried to jack the car from the drivers side rocker panel… The rocker panel was pushed up a bit & you can see a tweak in the quarter panel but is contained to just the area above. In the hands of a good shop, you are talking less than a half day to make it right.

·PAINT:Appears to be mostly original with some touch up or blending in areas.The paint should be “ wet sanded & polished out “and some sections blended.A repaint may be easier, but sure would be a shame to repaint this old girl & loose the patina that took 58 years to create… think true beauty !

·CHROME:Window frames, Taillight bezels, Headlight bezels, Grille, Ornaments etc… are Outstanding Original Some of the stainless & bumpers show some dings but are not a problem

·GLASS:Windsheild is MINTNo Issues ( 3 side glasses have cracks )

·FLOORS, TRUNK & FRAME:SOLID & NO rust found

·TRUNK:Material was removed when stored as a precaution but was lost over the years

·ENGINE COMPARTMENT:Untouched & looks like 56,000 miles

·ITEMS MISSING:Drivers side rocker molding, spare tire & jack

The reason “ Survivor & Barn Find Cars “ are so amazing & in such high demand these days is actually quite simple:

Restored cars just simply N-E-V-E-R:LOOK – FEEL –SOUND – DRIVE – HANDLE the way anORIGINAL car does … AND you never know how a restored car was “ cobbled “ together and then painted over to hide the massacre of most restorations …

With this beautiful Buick, you KNOW & can see the history, the care & quality that is strictlyinherent only in an ORIGINAL ! So many collectors around the world are unloading their restored cars & quietly buying the covetedO-R-I-G-I-N-A-L-S.

To better understand the Explosion of Interestin ORIGINALS & PATINA ... see the 1950 Buick Roadmaster Convertible on ebay right now.Ebay auction # 282637219111simply put: Originals are the wave of the future in old car collecting

1959 Electra 225 convertibles are very difficult cars to find in ANY condition, but IMPOSSIBLE to find like this one. The true collectors in the world will tell you: The best & most expensive restorations will never be better than a great original !

The: Beautiful Red Interior, Chrome, Windshield, Dashboard, Gauges, Convertible top, Weatherstripping etc... are a testament to the low miles & the benefit of not seeing the SUN in 45 years. Some time, care & TLC can easily make this one of the inherently best 59's in existence !

Imagine taking a time machine back to 1972 when this car was 13 years old and just being put into storage !

If you want $10.00 car show trophies, this car is not for you ... However, if you want to know what these " pinnacle of the 1950's " amazing automobiles were inherently R-E-A-L-L-Y like in '59, you just found the " needle in a haystack "

A very well preserved KING of 59 Buicks ... the Electra 225 convertible !
