Ok. I don't know the answer to this but I'm really curious.

What was the biggest Buick built in the 60's - 70's (length)?

What production car from the Big Three holds the title?

 ???

Rumor has it the Electra 225 was so named because it was 225 inches long. I looked up the 66 specs....it's 223.4".  I wonder if bumper guards were optional?

I had a 71 225 hardtop, Black with white vinyl top and tan interior.
Thankfully I was a quartermaster in the Navy. I had LOTS of experiance steering a 400 ft Destroyer, it really helped with the Electra.
And that black, by the time you waxed the hood ,the rear was ready to do again.
But what a ride! ;D ;D

>>>>The 1975 Buick Electra 225 Limited was the longest 4-door hardtop car GM ever built. At 233.4 in long, it was even longer than the 1975 Cadillac Deville
>>>>The 1976 Electra is about the same size as the 1975 at 233.3 inches, so basically these are the biggest Buicks that have ever been built.
