According to contemporary sales materials, Buick chose the name Invicta to characterize its 1959 Century replacement as “unconquerable, invincible, unbeatable.” By the time the 1960 Buick Invicta hit the road, the model was known simply as “the banker’s hot rod,” due in no small part to the 401/325 HP “Nailhead” V-8 engine under its massive hood. And while the 1959 version was smooth-sided, the 1960 Invicta bore more interesting side sculpturing and cleaner end treatments that presaged later successful designs.
This eye-catching 1960 Invicta convertible possesses those charms and more, with power steering and brakes, cruise control and Buick’s smooth Twin Turbine automatic transmission completing the mechanicals. The Invicta’s Red paint is brilliantly accented with wide whitewalls on chromed wheels and the choice of either White soft top or a matching boot; pleated Red and White upholstery and a padded dash with Sonomatic radio and Marcel quartz clock finish the stylish accommodations.
