A friend of mine has a yard in Central Mississippi that has a LOT of old stuff 50s and newer. I took a picture or 4 of some 1960 Buicks the other day. On is a Electra that has lower trim panels on the rocker panels. I had never noticed before. I didn't compress the files so they wont fit but if anyone has a Electra that they can post the pics of , that would show what a awesome styling this particular year has.
I've always liked the brawny look of the Buicks of that era. Are these large stainless/chrome panels what you're talking about? (Not my car btw!)
