The 1960 Buick Electra was softer and more subdued than its 1959 predecessor. But with tailfins, VentiPorts, and a "Wildcat 445" engine, the sedan was still a highly stylized — not to mention, powerful — luxury tourer.
With the 1960 Electra, Buick's trademark front-fender VentiPorts returned after a two-year absence, while tailfins would be evident for the last time.
