Hi everybody. I talked to a friend here in Sweden yesterday. He said he saw a 6-wheel 70 Electra for sale in the US. Does anyone have any pics of such a car? He said Buick made 3 of those cars. They supposed to be 4-wheel drive and that you can raise/lower the rear axle. Would be interesting to see if somebody knows anything about them.
uhhh, whaaaaaat? two rear drive axles? heck, a FLOATING drive axle? :jd: i have a hard time believing that one.
From what I heard one was for sale at Carlisle or Hersey. Info says Buick made three of these cars with only one survivor. If anyone has info I sure would appreciate anything.
I guess we know how you feel now don't we? p :laugh: Regarding the 6 wheel Buick... I've never heard of it either. But the more I'm here, the more I realize I don't know squat. I'd love to see pics of this monster if it exists! :TU:
yeah, that'd be an understatement. was the extra axle behind or in front of the normal drive axle? behind would put it in the trunk / gas tank area, in front would put it in the back seat footwell. was it a 2/3 seater or what?
memory if memory serves me right it was behind the axle - it had bumps(Kinda like Lincoln Humps on the trunk of the Marks) in the quarters to accomadate the wheels -
Yes........now I remember........I forget where but I've seen a picture of that.........God, that thing is ugly.......that takes the term sacrilige to a whole new level. I didn't know it was a Buick for some reason. (that was probably a good thing) :spank: :bglasses:
Here's the listing and pic of the car....root ugly! http://allentown.craigslist.org/cto/4085721198.htm...
There is/was an Electra six wheel car for sale in The Netherlands a while back. But it doesn't looked like it was a factory option.
David G?. . . or should I say Gee David, whats all that white stuff piled on that Toronado, huh??? :Brow: :laugh:
