To Detroit in an Electra A roadtrip of a lifetime in a 1960 Buick Electra 225 My big summer adventure began when my friend, Ryan Richards, said, "Have you heard about the big Lambda Car Club International's (LCCI) Detroit Invitational Car Show that is held every 10 years?" (It had been postponed the last two years due to COVID.) He said, "We should go." I already had plans to drive from my home in Oklahoma City to the Cadillac & LaSalle Club's Grand National in Chicago a month before this July event, so I thought another big trip was not practical. The more I got to thinking about it, it hit me — I would turn 50 this year, and my birthday would be right in the middle of the LCCI meet. Maybe I needed a good 50th birthday story.

Yeah, we'd buy that!  We don't know why the guy (or gal) who has had this cool 1953 Jaguar for the past 52 years is finally deciding to sell it, but we know if we had it we'd be the only ones showing up in one of these babies at the local Dairy Queen cruise-in. For that reason alone we'd love to take her home. The two-tone burgundy and black paint is stunning, and according to the listing the Jag had a lengthy restoration that was completed in 2005 — and it still looks great.
