Buick Wildcat EV

This is an EV I would purchase if they would build.

A little different than the 1965 2-door Buick Wildcat hardtop I had. It was canary yellow with a black leather interior and a 365 c.i. motor with an automatic trans.

My Auto Mechanics teacher in HS had a 65 Wildcat with the 425 eng. it was a beast.

We had one, but a convertible; same color; no car has 1/5 of the styling the old ones had.

That would be a 401 or 425 nailhead engine. I owned a 65 Riviera GS (2 x 4 bbl). Never fully restored it.

GM wisely held on the Electra name. Who knew it would be used for something far different?

I’m guessing that concept is dead(?). I’d assume the first Buick EV can’t be too far out. GM Authority thinks at least one Buick EV crossover (blah, make something cool, like this) will be built on the upcoming “BEV-Prime” chassis, designed primarily for the Corvette EV Crossover.

ALL your friends could fit in the trunk for the drive-in.

You couldn't afford it.

That is an amazing car. Absolutely gorgeous.

Harley Earl would approve
