Now this is a cool thread! I'll add my 64 Electra to the herd. Sort of put this together back in '88. It had been a running, driving car all it's life but had a rod knockin' bad when I bought it for around $850 or so. Home-sprayed laquer job and a quick interior at a friend's shop that same year. Lined up a used motor for $250 and its been running smooth as silk ever since. Uses 1/2 to 1 qrt of oil between changes. Had to pull the TH400 for a rebuild several years ago, another $225. Eventually ran new brake lines too when the main line to the rear busted. Still looks exactly like this today.
Thanks for the compliment! more pics in my album/profile. The color is 08 Volkswagen arctic blue. The work was done in Texas by the best!

Man, I'm sorry I missed this thread for so long. Here's a shot of my '63 Electra: (sorry about the soft spot in the pic.) There are a few more pics in my albums, if anyone is interested. What do you guys think about some of the Buick rally wheels on this? I think I might like that better than just these steel rims, and Buick rally wheels would be a lot cheaper than supremes or something of that ilk. I don't really see a lot of 63' Electra's around. Anyway, I'll try and get some pics up of the '57 when I can, although the front clip is off right now, and this hasn't really been a project thread...

I learned to drive in Buick, 65' 4 door Electra 225. Man, that car could haul! My dad had a 64' 2 door Electra 225 it was black, anyone have any pics?
That is one they should have actually produced...just the way you have it photochopped....That is a wicked idea
Ok you asked for it! Here is a low rider for you! HA HA Trimex pedal cars made in Mexico. Don't ask, they are rare! The blue one with the white bottom is a before shot of the pink one and the bare electric powered frame was built to replace the pedal car frame.
