Husky Buick Electra

Post by Ewan »

Along with the Duple Vista coach this is my favourite Husky, and I've finally got one worth keeping. I know that the beacon is a bit shabby but at least the grille is intact - I disposed of one of the orange 'civilian' Buicks with absolutely flawless paint because around a quarter of the grille had gone. I've seen listings for a light blue version of the police car but have never seen a photo of one - anyone out there got one?

Very nice indeed. First time I got one of the Transits I thought somebody had replaced the rear door with one from another model. :roll:

I think 9 out of 10 of Husky Transits I see at toyfairs are missing the back door.

These are the Electra's I have managed to find. Also, my Transit Van does have the rear door, but it is white. I also have the blue Corgi Junior Transit Van, but the rear door is unfinished metal so I don't know if it is a replacement. It works almost too well for an aftermarket one.

Hi Ewan
The Husky Transit came fitted with an unpainted metal door, I don't know if replacements have been made

I was sure that the Husky Transit I had was fitted with a white back door and my initial impression was that someone had done it at home. It wasn't until I'd done quite a lot of internet searching that I realised they were all like that. Still haven't seen an example of the light blue Buick referred to in my 'Model Price Guide' but I'll keep searching.
