Pete Calandra has owned this 1969 Buick Electra 225 convertible for forty-five years, ever since buying it in the middle of a snowstorm. Now restored in gold paint and shown at World of Wheels in Rosemont, Illinois, the car has been preserved to a condition its owner intends to keep far away from winter roads for good. As Buick’s full-size flagship, the Electra 225 was built for comfort and presence rather than speed, and this one carries a rarer credential than horsepower: a single owner for nearly half a century. Watch to hear the story behind one of the longest-held cars on the show floor.
