BUICK ELECTRA
Definitions:
Oxford English Dictionary:
Name in Greek tragedy of the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, responsible for the murder of the latter.
American Heritage Dictionary:
E�lec�tra ( �-l�k�tr�) n. Greek Mythology 1. A daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon who with her brother Orestes avenged the murder of Agamemnon by killing their mother and her lover, Aegisthus.
The Buick Electra is no longer produced. The Buick Electra has been a stand-alone car, but the word Electra has also denoted nicer editions of Buicks, such as the Buick Park Avenue Electra. The definitions suggest a mythological connection. I am not sure if this is the reason for the name of the car, but it doesn't seem appropriate. The story of Electra involves deceit and murder, hopefully not what the Buick offered.
Driving from Burlington to Waterdown..
Out in the Country
The interior is still in pretty good condition for a 30 year old car, and I intend to keep it that way.
Chrome Hub Caps.. still tempting to get some new and ridiculously expensive rims. Waxed on the left and Dirty on the right!
Me popping the trunk, what could be inside?
Why it's my old guitar, a sub, and my garage on the left.
Here are some original Electra info..
Women back then were dressed/looked better.. Am I right guys??
As of yet I have not figured out how to code a "Streaming Video" html-wise..and would be very interested in doing so.
This 3 meg video is not my car, but it is someone with an electra doing a good burnout, showing it's power... roughly 300 HORSE power!.
