....was a 1972, fully loaded Buick 225 Electra. She had put all of about 3000 miles on it by the time I got it in 1982. Leather, power everything, that huge, legendary engine....and what had to be about 1.5 miles to the gallon. Trunk could hold 3 kegs EASILY. Back seat had to be nearly the size of a twin bed. Curb weight....what......2 tons ??? The melt value of the steel alone must have been thousands.
To state that it was a legendary collegiate love/party boat would be.....I'm afraid....an understatement. Hence my cellar dwelling GPA. But I was a merry prankster....and very popular (never to be equalled in later life !).
Come to think of it....that car's the entire reason for my misspent, wayward youth....and my current life's woeful mediocrity !
