This fall, famous American rock-n-roller and Michigan native, Bob Seger, released his first album in eight years. The LP, titled "Ride Out," features a collection of original songs and covers, including a rendition of John Hiatt's "Detroit Made," which is literally all about winning over the ladies and traveling through the city behind the wheel of a classic Buick Electra 225. The song includes a surprising amount of detail about the car and is shared in a new video by Seger that pays homage to the Motor City.
While several classic Detroit-made cars are featured in Seger's music video, the song is specifically a tale about the long-running Buick Electra, a vehicle manufactured from 1959 through 1990. In his cover of the hit tune, Seger sings: "Big block, she'll do all the work. So we can ride in style, leather on those bucket seats ... Chrome that takes the moonlight on sea to shining sea." And, of course, the song's hook references the Electra 225's nickname: deuce and a quarter.
At Van Buick, we're proud of our brand heritage and this video shares a piece of that legacy in a unique way. The video below combines clips of classic cars with footage of the Motor City, where Buick was born and the Electra 225 first rolled off the assembly line. Click play now to watch.
