Buick Electra

The 1960 Electra and Electra 225 received a minor facelift with a concave grille and horizontal headlights centered by Buick’s then-new “Trishield” logo, which is still in use today. Reintroduced to Electras and other Buicks for 1960 were the chrome VentiPorts first introduced in 1949 and last seen in 1957. Inside, a revised instrument panel featured a “Mirromatic” speedometer for which the lens could be adjusted to better visibility to suit the driver. A new two-spoke steering wheel with horn bars was introduced, replacing the time honored horn ring then still common to most automobiles.
