RARE AWARD WINNING BUICKS 15 1960 BUICK ELECTRA 225 FOUR DOOR HARDTOP With only 32,000 reportedly actual miles and being in 100% original condition, this Electra 225 4-Door Hardtop is truly an exceptional luxury car. It is very highly optioned including the Wildcat V8 engine, power windows, power seats, autronic-eye headlight dimmer, full tinted glass, power steering, power brakes, rare chrome factory fender skir ts and much more. These beauties are seldom seen and especially in this super original condition with extraordinarily low mileage. 1940 BUICK WOODY ESTATE WAGON COACHWORK BY BIEHL The 1940 Buick Estate Wagon found its origin in Hollywood. In 1939 movie director Norman McLeod and his wife Evelyn “Bunny” threw a party at their Beverly Hills home as part of a sales meeting for Buick. Among those attending were Harlow Curtis, President of Buick and Harley Earl who was the styling director for Buick. Harley heard Bunny say she and Mr. McLeod did not have a Buick in their garage because Buick did not offer a station wagon. That was all Harley needed and began to make sketches for a Buick Station Wagon prototype within a few days. The Biehl Body Company of Reading, Pennsylvania was brought on board to build the design and it was so well liked that 500 were commissioned to be built. Car # 1 was presented to Bunny McLeod who used it for a number of years at her ranch and in Beverly Hills as well. The engine is an eight cylinder 248 CI-107 HP and has a column mounted three speed manual transmission. This is one of the nicest, if not the nicest, 1940 Buick Estate Wagon still in existence.
