    I have a chance to purchase a local, rust free, complete 1960 Buick Electra 225 Riviera 4dr hardtop sedan. The car is very high optioned, with A/C, power windows, power seat, etc. The car needs total restoration. I am not familiar with the Buicks of this era, so I am wondering, are parts fairly easy to find for these cars? Any trouble areas to look for? I want to be sure I am not biting off more than I can chew!

    Any help appreciated!

    Check behind the lower trim...known rust catcher there. 60 hoods always rust out along the front edge...same for front edges of fenders. Rockers, inner and outer.

    I would think body and interior items would be quite difficult to find.
