One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a Sky Blue paint job, this 1959 Buick Invicta exudes grace and confidence from every angle. Just look at those jet age-inspired rear fins, faired-in rear wheels and whitewall tires! Then, you’ve got the chrome bumpers, rear taillamps meant to mimic afterburners on jet figthters, dual headlamps with upward-angled chrome eyebrows, and of course, the car’s slightly upward-facing stance. It’s almost like this Buick is ready to take to the skies, of course, unless you’re Walter Mitty, it’s not going to really do that. This is probably where fins and chrome both peaked in prevalence, as everywhere you look on this car’s bodywork, you’ll find one or the other (or both). And just check out those wrap-around windshields! The blue interior of this 1959 Buick Invicta is a wonderfully well-lit and airy place, thanks to the car’s large glasshouse. It’s endowed with even more chrome and metal trim, a thin-rimmed steering wheel, Art Deco styled dashboard and a push-button radio. The steering boss proudly proclaims that the car has power steering, too. And just look at the heater controls, within the main instrument cluster pod! Quirky isn’t quite the word! Perhaps the only part of this car that’s smaller than you’d expect is its trunk, but it’s still roomy for most purposes.
Engine
This 1959 Buick Invicta comes with a 401ci Buick Fireball V8, which was the larger engine configuration available for the Invicta range. It drives the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. As we mentioned, this car also has power steering and possibly power brakes as well.
