All I drive are Electra's... daily drivers, cruise-in cars and show cars. One day Buick will see the light and bring back the Electra model namesake to production again...

 

Not familiar with the Electras, always thought they were an old man's car when I wasn't and am now LoL. As with the car in the first thread though, I'd really think twice about putting any money into something like that. Could easily have more invested than the car would ever be worth.

I did have an '87 Corvette (thumbnail) untill maybe 5 years ago and was going to go the paint job, new carpeting, seat covers route. Easy enough to do with the parts available out there. However, the car is even today still depreciating and not all that desirable to even be an owner.

So I would of ended up with a car I had more money into and worth even less in showroom condition. No, traded it in and put my money into something much more wanting.
