The 4-door models had a lower bright rear fender molding as well. The Electra 225 script was found on the front fenders ahead of the wheelhouse. Exterior distinction from other Buicks came from extra-wide moldings, with a massive Electra emblem on the front fender extension. The Electra, along with all other 1959 Buicks, featured all new styling shared with other GM divisions that included slanted headlights in front along with a highly chromed square grille somewhat similar to the 1958 Buick and “Delta-Fins” back along with round taillights. In addition Electra 225s had Super Deluxe wheelcovers and an outside rearview mirror as standard equipment.

Power windows and seat and leather interiors were standard on the Electra 225 convertible and optional on all other models. The standard and only available engine was the 401 cubic-inch Wildcat V8 with four-barrel carburetor, 10.25 to 1 compression ratio and 325 horsepower (242 kW) mated to a two-speed Dynaflow automatic transmission, which was also standard equipment along with power steering and power brakes using Buick’s unique 12-inch (300 mm) finned aluminum brake drums. The two-door convertible was only available as an Electra 225, and the 2-door hardtop as an Electra.įor 1959, the Electra and Electra 225 both used the General Motors C-body shared with the Oldsmobile 98 and all Cadillac, riding on a longer 126.3-inch (3,210 mm) wheelbase than the B-body LeSabre and Invicta, both of which rode on 123 inches (3,100 mm). A standard 4-window four-door hardtop was also available, as was a 4-door 6-window pillared sedan, along with a stripped chassis of which 144 were built in 19. But 1959 was the first year that not all Buick hardtops were called Rivieras. Also, from 1950 through 1953, Buick made a premium trimmed, stretched wheelbase sedan, exclusively in the Roadmaster and Super lines, that was called Riviera. Buick first applied the “Riviera” name to a premium trimmed 2-door Roadmaster hardtop in the middle of the 1949 model year, and thereafter denoted all Buick hardtops Rivieras. The Electra 225 Riviera was the top-line model and it shared its six window hardtop roofline exclusively with Cadillac (which offered it on all of its models).

The Electra 225 nameplate was a nod to the latter car’s overall length of over 225 in (5,715 mm), earning it the street name “deuce and a quarter.” For 1959, they were renamed the Electra and the Electra 225 respectively. Prior to 1959, the Roadmaster and the Limited constituted the upper echelon of Buick’s lineup.
