  • The title refers to the Buick Electra, a full-size premium automobile built by the Buick division of General Motors. The Electra 225 nameplate was a nod to the car's overall length of over 225 in (5,715 mm), earning it the street name "deuce and a quarter". A gold Buick Electra is featured on the album artwork.
