My late uncle ordered the same exact car at 3:18 into the video he had every option that was available for the Electra Limited end up paying over $10,000 which back then was considered a lot of money. He Kept that car for 26 years mostly garaged. I tried to get a whole of the car after he passed away but my mom wouldn't allow it
Leather is made a big deal of, because 1974 is the first year leather was available since 1963. The beautiful 1963 Riviera was offered with optional leather, and made for such an impressive luxury car, Grand Poobah Cadillac said NOPE! Leather became unavailable for the next eleven years in all Buicks.
Nothing about the GM Air Cushion Restraint System ( ACRS ) for the C-Body Electra based cars. GM never really went all out marketing it like they claimed. They spent more marketing idiotic junk like overpriced vinyl roofs. If you got rid of the junk knicknacks then the ACRS could have been made standard equipment in all C-bodies, B-bodies, and E-bodies.
Thanks for keeping up such memories which might have been lost forever, if not uploaded on YT by enthusiasts like you.

I'm surprised Ford allowed GM to call its glass sunroof, "Moonroof" when I got my deuce & a quarter in 76 brand new Buick used the term
"Astroroof".

Cool, I was born in 1974 :)
No mention of the LeSabre convertible either. Fine cars, these.
Not sure why they didn't talk about the Apollo?
