Buick produced 70,000 Electra models. Out of 70,000, only 7,181 convertibles were produced for the 1964 model year. What makes this convertible rare is the 425 CID dual quad nail head engine option. This was a special order that was dealer installed. The 225-lettering stood for a deuce and a quarter.
The Electra styling features the four Venti Ports on front fenders, full wheel covers, a heavy-duty grille, wider lower body moldings in the front, and vertical tail lamps.

Interior is the original red bucket seat leather console interior. It presents very well and the interior trim is in excellent shape. Instrument panel has clear glass
