1959 Buick Electra 225 Riviera Colors
Buick carried over a few colors introduced in 1958 and past years. Blue and red (or kind of red) colors were very popular in 1959. A color like Copper Glow would be very unique today. In addition, 13 colors were available, which could be solid or as two-tone combination, which means, roof and body could have different colors.
Note: Color accuracy varies by computer/device settings and depends on the actual light. (See complete 1959 Buick color chart for Duco Paint numbers.)

1959 Buick Videos
The first videos concerning the new 1959 Buick model line were offered through the Buick Dealer Organization Training program (DOT). Three videos – all of them in bright color – were produced to give a good intruduction about Styling, Engineering and Optional Equipment. Other issues contained info about Sales Procedures and Comparisons with other car manufacturers. Only a few television spots came out the year due to the steel and car sales crises.
