Shorty's


I have long been a fan of big Detroit iron... particularly mid-sixties Buicks. Reader Mike from CT sent me some photos recently of of his 1965 Buick Electra 225 Custom Coupe. Custom refers to the all vinyl interior and the black on black really sets off the crisp styling on this runner. All factory except wheels, offenhauser valve covers, and factory correct black repaint. It features the 401 Nailhead 4bbl and is one of the few coupes with rare cornering lights.

Mike says he drove the car from Connecticut to Detroit in 2008 for the Woodward Dream Cruise... 1,600 trouble free miles in one week. He found Shorty's off of Woodward Ave... a perfect backdrop for this black beauty.
