This is the General Motors quality I miss and really appreciate. Such a beautiful Buick. Thank you for sharing!

What a beautiful car! That's the era when cars really had a great Style.

This car is stunning. You're 100% right about it being the pinnacle of GM full sized cars. The interior quality, detail, and styling is so much better than the following year. It's hard to express how desirable that car is.

My fathers 69' Olds Ninety Eight was similar. Had the same interior seat material in a dark green to match the green paint. His 65' Nighty Eight also had similar material. These were very nice cars. The 65' had real wood trim, the rear seat had retractable hand handles like a Limo. It was very luxurious.

Love the no post look of this huge 4 door. This is the car you took to the drive-in on nights when you paid buy the car. You could get about 8 people in this thing.

These Buick Electra’s are some of the best vehicles ever made. Amazing condition. The dash wood and the chrome around the gauges are in perfect shape, very rare. The interior is the best part. You can drive this car all day without any aches or pains. What a score. My favorite years for Electra’s 1968-1970. Your collection keeps getting better.

If only GM made anything with this much quality nowadays.

OMG!!!! This was the first car I remember, of my parents. We drove from the Seattle metro area clear down to Disney Land: two adults, two tweens, and two small kids. And, we did it comfortably. Ours was like a copper green color. My Dad loved that car.

Gorgeous Electra. My grandmother had a 1969 Electra 225, which was very similar to this car, same wheels too, but her's was a 2 door, gold with a black vinyl top. My mother's parents only drove Buicks. I remember riding in this car as a teen, rode like a Cadillac, quiet and ultra smooth. Wish I had that car today.

My Grandparents bought a new one, metallic mint green, black vinyl top and dark green interior. 17 years on the road and it was babied.

What a magnificent car! I've always liked the old Buicks. But the Electra and the Wildcat have been my favorites for as long as I can remember. Beautiful beautiful car.

I like to thank you for saving these land yachts and showing them to us gear heads which we can enjoy.

Beautiful car. You do a great job of narrating and really do your homework on these cars! Really enjoy your videos.

Stunning car! I have a 73 Lincoln Continental mark iv in Moondust silver, the triple silver luxury group from 73. All of these cars are wonderful to drive and to just admire!

What a great style cruise machine; thank you for being the digital museum for these beautiful sculptures!

A real Buick

I owned a 1970 La saber, my Mother owned a 1972 225, my Grand Mother owned a 1973 225. What a time to own a car for sure.

What a fully loaded beauty!!! The brown color was very popular & very attractive. These Buicks were very comfortable luxurious cars!! Thanks for sharing this fun video!! 👍👍🙂

My dad bought a brand new 66 Electra 225 limited 2dr. I was hoping he would have bought the Wildcat GS coupe , but he didn’t like bucket seats . I can still see them in the showroom . Yeah well . It was his money !

Unreal the pure Beauty of these cars even after 50yrs That would be one Nice Ride !!

There was an optional wheel cover. It was a wire wheel cover. Dad's 1970 Limited was ordered/equipped thusly. Dad ordered them, along with everything that could be checked off, including a passenger side exterior mirror. Also, there was a little rubber pad that encapsulated the floor mounted dimmer switch available - ordered on Dad's car. [BTW, they are ventiports, not portholes.] It was quite a beautiful car. The reason the trip odometer reset was beneath the dashboard is it used a cable, not dissimilar to the speedometer cable, to manually reset the trip odometer. To reset the meter. one turned the knob until the numbers lined up to zero. Newer cars use a ratcheting gear, connected to the trip odometer, so the reset is in line with the numbers, more or less. One simply presses the reset and the numbers ratchet back to zero. Dad bought our 1970 Limited new, then drove it for 15 years when he bought a new 1985 Park Avenue. I bought the Limited from him Most comfortable road car I've ever owned. Drove it until 1996, when It was t-boned. It had over 200 K miles. Bent the frame badly. I let it go. Sniff...

Your collection is AMAZING. This was my grandpa's dream car. He only drove Buicks

Our family had the '70 Estate Wagon version of this platform. Bamboo Cream with wood trim. PS, power drum brakes, A/C. Amazing car! My dad would put 87 in it and would run but it had to be driven gently. When I drove it in the early '90's I put Sunoco 94 in it and it ran fine. Eventually my dad had the motor rebuilt and de-tuned to handle 87 unleaded. After the rebuild - no power, but no more ping. The car was wrecked in 1994 and the motor lives on in a jet boat! Tank of a car. Thanks for the memories!

The front of this car brings back memories. I had a 1970 Wildcat 2-door with the 455 cu in the same color.

Yep, 1970 Limited, best of the best. I would rather have this than a Cadillac Sedan DeVille any day.

Should have mentioned the lack of center door pillar that provides an expanse of open windows.

My grandfather had a 70’s Buick Skylark and a LeSabre. His brother was a Buick salesman at Hayes Brothers in SLC. He had the speed warning buzzer set at 55 MPH, which as a ten years old drove me nuts. Thanks for reminding me of those memories of him.

Love this Buick. Best interiors back then . My very first car when I turned 16 was a 1970 Buick Skylark coupe; have loved old people's Buicks ever since. Currently driving a 1994 Buick Regal coupe; another survivor with a time capsule interior.keep em coming; I like your choice of cars on here.

Beautiful car ! A real Buick.

There's one of these near me that hits a local show from time to time. Sedan with pillar, but still a Limited. Odd thing is that it has crank windows - it's always interesting to see a high trim car with low spec options.

Quality of this car and Adam’s presentation make this episode a real pleasure to view!

What I noticed was the very rich script writing on the dashboard. G.M. would pay attention to the smallest of details. It made the owner feel very special.

Love watching your videos. For us car guys, looking back at these classics helps explain why we love the cars we do. The videos also help us understand why we dislike certain options of yesteryear. All in all knowing our past helps us understand our passions of today... Thank you for the history lesson..👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲

wow...just spectacular...love the colors...somebody really treated himself when buying this dreamboat new. The brocaded upholstery of this era is so much nicer than the bordello velour pillows that started showing up a few more years after. lol, speedminder set to 100!

I’m 75, and these behemoth automobiles never interested me; until you started this channel exclusively featuring them. I’ve always favored smaller European automobiles, but you have a unique perspective on our large American offering. I’m beginning to appreciate their features and style. Top notch channel.

I found your KZfaq channel a year or so ago when I was looking for videos about the 1970 Elektra because I wanted to see the dual function reverse lights again. A neighbor of ours always had the latest top-of-the-line Buick and had a 1970 Elektra Limited when I was 13 years old, a car I always greatly admired (frankly, I'd rather have one of these than a 1970 Cadillac). Since first watching this video over a year ago I have watched a large number of your other videos which are all fascinating and fantastic, thanks!

I love this car ! What a beauty !

I remember these well, I had a uncle that only purchased the top of the line Buicks, he remained faithful until his last car a Lexus

Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing it with us. I learned to drive on a similar 1970 Oldsmobile 98. We called it "The Tank". That car is the only reason I am able to parallel park to this day. My mom, a somewhat short woman of 5'4" was a master parallel parker and one of her requirements for driving was parallel parking. Had to master it, in that car, before she would take me for my driving test to get my license. Then my first care was a VW Beetle. BIG difference.

My mom had a 1971 Mustang coupe, black with a black vinyl top. I had that same steering wheel rim horn. Brought back memories when you made a reference to it. This car is beautiful. My dad had a 1972 Coupe DeVille 2-door. The color was that very light green color. These cars were amazing back in their day.

Beautiful car, Adam. I've loved these since I was a kid. Thanks for the review!

Can't believe I'm seeing this, really awesome, and good job with your discription👍this was my second car and in the same color! So crazy seeing this

I would so love to own one of these. The first car I ever drove( living in farming country I did drive a pu first) was my dad's gorgeous metallic blue 70 Limited one equipped just like this one. In the mis 70's It was what a family of six such as we had used. We took many road trips and despite its great ability to power out of any situation, my dad could get 20 mpg out of it back when the limit was 55. Dad swore it ran like a race car and have been a GM mechanic, he kept it tuned beautifully. I have looked for these but they have become so rare. Thank you for sharing it with me, you have no idea how special it is to me.

My father, Walter Earl Phoenix, had a 1970 Buick Electra Limited, just like the one pictured, except it had the thick padded leather interior instead of cloth. The exquisite road automobile was the same color combination as yours pictured. My family enjoyed riding in the automobile. The 1970 Electra sedan, was and still is the pinnacle, of Buick luxury automobiles. My father owned and drove Buicks since 1954 to 1983. Buick division's logo was, "When better cars are built !!! Buick will build them" !!! And they certainly did !!! Kevin Phoenix

Looking forward to hearing the car when you step down in 2nd👍🏻

Such a stunning example of this beautiful Buick!! I’m in love all over again ... I totally agree with you about the quivering bodies on so many GM vehicles of yore. Kudos to Buick for beefing it up amply to give you that nice SOLID feeling!! 🙌🏻

There is nothing better than a "Wonderfull dying swan sound" to keep your speed at bay. Classic original quote!!

I’m so glad to find this channel … as a man in my early 50’s I grew up watching all of these cars floating down the road. I feel that the 50’s cars are neat , but the cars ( all American makes) built from ‘59 through the early ‘70s were the absolute best ever made .They had the mechanical engineering and performance to be good enough to easily cross the county , but still be connected to the older days of metal and chrome. Your collection is incredible!!!

This beauty is in amazing condition. The gorgeous cream interior is enhanced by the brown exterior. This is a major score!

Amazing car. The Electra, Buick’s Cadillac Sedan de Ville, was always so unique, graceful and beautiful from mid 60’s to ‘76.

After I commented on a Pontiac, I realized whatever else I think, this is a great channel and the elements of the tutorial parts about the various vehicles flow well and are accurate and possibly bring new people into this hobby (hopefully) 👏🏻

WOW! My dad had a car just like this one. Same color combination and all. Same big pillowed seats and all. Dad really loved that car and so did my mother. We would all jump into that thing and off to Florida we'd go. Dad would cruise that big girl around 90 mph almost all the way to Florida and she never missed a beat. I'd love to come see it and just put my hand on her. Watching this video brings back a lot of very good memories. Thanks for posting.

I've been watching your videos and they are quite nice. Your collection is awesome, reminds me of Mike Stanton's videos elsewhere on KZfaq. He's the guy who features a lot of Eldorados. I turned 50 not long ago. The cars you feature were the ones I literally grew up with. My aunt had a '71 Catalina Brougham in the late 70s, deep metallic green.

Absolutely stunning Adam. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Gorgeous car! I could see me cruising around in that.

Thank you, I’m a Buick guy, 73 Electra, I love your car collection, keep on shooting your videos.

I laughed when you mentioned the seat belt buckle. The first luxury car my dad bought was a '66 Oldsmobile 98 LS which he bought in about 1970. As a kid, I remember wearing shorts and climbing into that car on a hot day and sitting on that giant buckle. OUCH! I would love to find one of those cars...they had the prettiest tail lights.

My parents had a 70 Wildcat, same color. Great cars.

My two favorite Buicks of all time are still the 1960 Electra/Invicta/LaSabre and the 1965 Riviera. Thanks for sharing this gem! 👍

My buddy's parents each had Electra's. Great car for cruising down the highway. AND great car for sleeping in when it starts raining during camping trips. So comfy.

The people down the street had one of these in the same color but it was a convertible it was always in the garage back when I was growing up in the early 70s

Now that’s a real car! Four door hardtop is always my favorite. You must be a millionaire to own all these classic cars as they’re all “one of a kind” 😎

My aunt and uncle in NYC had one of these! It was soooooo comfortable.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! The one I had as a teenager was almost exactly the same as yours.

Most GM cars of this era, beginning in 1962, had the front of the hood shaped to direct bugs over instead of at the windshield.

How about a drive in this one! Parents of a friend of mine had one of these in all green, like your Marquis. I grew up in a small MO town, when they bought the car it was the most expensive car the local Buick dealer had ever sold, and it made the local paper! I rode in it a couple of times, it was amazingly smooth and quiet!

Buick Electras,Wildcats,Rivieras,and Skylark GS s All awesome vehicles with that spectacular 455 torque monster engine. In my opinion, one of Buicks best years.

This brings back fond memories. My Father has a Maroon 70 Electra 225. That was the first car I ever drove. Great, great car.

2.56 gears with a 370 bhp 455, should top out around 140 mph.

My aunt had one. It had lighters in the passenger door and we used to drive her nuts playing with it. It had curb feelers too

I appreciate your excellent narration. You are well spoken and have a great command of providing a narrative that greatly enhances the videography. Thank you.

My dad often tells me of the 1970 Buick Electra limited he had bought for 500 in 1986. When he joined the army, he left the car with his dad and he ended up giving it to my dad's best friend because they both loved that car. However he sold it and no one can find it. My dad said it was tan but he called it gold with all black interior. Nice car sir, my Dad truly loved watching it.

The new cars don't compare.

The land cruiser as my friends and i called them. Our neighbour had one talk about a smooth ride and with power. Those were the days :)

Totally enjoy the trip down memory lane. Owned a 68 430 wildcat and a 78 455 duece and quarter. Great review.

Thanks for the wonderful Moments you give to us with your you Tube Channel ! I love the 60s and early 70s original Limousines with white walls and the biggest V8 ! Wish you the best ! Rudi from Germany

When it was obvious that this was a Buick and not an Oldsmobile 🤔👌

Hi from australia love the cars of the time when they were still built with style an class you can see the end of the era as the bean counters an safety bumpers an aerodynamics took over to what we have now junk cheap plastic rubbish that falls apart from the littlest bump

Thank you for the video. You brought me back to memories about my 1970 Buick GS 350 which I bought used in 1979 and drove for 12 years. I loved that car. It wasn't as luxurious, but you brought back awesome memories for me with this video.

When you hit the power locks, gave me flashbacks of riding in my Grandfather’s LeSabre. He was a Buick guy until he retired, then my grandmother made him buy the Caddy. Never wanted to viewed as a show off. I started driving Cadillacs when the introduced the Gen 2 CTS V.

I miss Rich fabric Interiors in cars. Now everything is just mousefur cloth.

This was a perfect example to show the contrast between the last year(1970) of stellar build quality at GM versus their lesser approach in 1971. Nice to also see a truly "loaded" car instead of most that are advertised as much.

1970 was the last year for top horsepower. In 1971 horsepower start declining tremendously. Beautiful car, great video, thankyou.

OMG! What a gorgeous car! In my opinion, 1970 was the pinochle for so many GM cars and this is right up there with the best of them. You lucky dawg.

Nice car, always loved the 1965-70 Buick Electra's, 1970 is my top favorite year of the 1965-76 Buick Electra's, I don't get why Oldsmobile 455 was offered in 1968 and Pontiac and Buick didn't get their's until 1970

This is more like it. 👍👍👍

FAB-U-LOUS! My grandpap had a silver '70 Electra Limited Sedan with Black top and black vinyl interior way back when I was a little child.

That is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL old Buick. I always wanted one of those but never found one that was in good enough condition. They were some of the finest American cars of all time. Thank you for sharing it. You have no idea how much I enjoy this vid. It is just spectacular

👍🇺🇸Beauty!

We had a 71 and then a 72 limited. They had that speed alert. That bar would move, so it would be pushed by the needle as you went over the speed, and then when you decelerated, it would stay at the higher speed. Kind of lame.

It brings back great memories. I had a friend a few years older than myself in 1970, and she used to take her mother’s Electra and go cruising around. This car had an FM stereo. Compared to the size of today’s car, these cars could easily seat 6 people. The trunk could hide 4 people, which came in handy at the drive in movies.

Adam- this is my favorite among all of your cars, if you couldn't tell already!

14:25, all American cars back then had that mean, gurgling noise. And that wasn’t something of a sports car.

My dad would have lost it and gone off on the salesman just mentioning the space saver spare tire

What a flashback...I learned to drive in my dad's 68 LeSabre...at first it felt like a barge until I got to appreciate the ride and comfort. Great vid by the way!

Wow! Takes me back! My Dad bought one of these brand new, light metallic green, with a tan interior and tan vinyl top. I was 11. We loved that car, and so did Dad. He kept it longer than usual, and finally sold it private party in 1979, it was always very well kept, always garaged, Southern California car, and looked almost like new, inside and out. Purchased a new 79 Buick Rivera. I enjoyed driving the car very much once I got my license in 75. Thx for the memories.

Jacks Auto Ranch in Wisconsin has cars back to 1903. There are a whole bunch of junk yards in that area but I can't remember any of the other names

"dying swan noise" 🤣

Stunning! My dad had a '69 then '73 225 2 doors. He drove the cars a regional sales manager in OR, WA and Idaho. Lots of road miles. He washed them in our driveway after each trip and did his own maintenance. I appreciate seeing the Limited in detail here. Good memories of Buicks in our family.

My grandfather had that car in seafoam green ....loved that car. burnt my lgs a few times on seatbelts wearing shorts duri g the summertime. thank you
