1962 Buick Invicta Convertible
Sleek and stylish, this 1962 Buick Invicta convertible is a real head turner. Boasting a Wildcat “445” and a drop top, we don’t know if it gets any better than this Buick when it comes to American convertibles.
This 1962 Buick Invicta hails from a time when Buick was making much more interesting products, to say the very least. The convertible left the factory with the more powerful of the two V8 engines offered in the 1962 Invicta: a 401 cubic inch Nailhead V8. What’s more, the 401 Nailhead found in the Invicta was the single four-barrel ‘445’ version – a moniker it got from the rather significant 445 pound-feet of torque it produced. The only transmission offered in the Invicta was a two-speed ‘TurbineDrive’ automatic.
Taking a peek inside of this lovely Buick reveals that this interior has been reupholstered with a velour type of material, versus a more typical woven fabric and vinyl look. Although we aren’t the biggest fans of velour, we appreciate that someone put forth the effort to keep this Buick in good shape. The lovely lipstick red exterior is gorgeous, with wonderful reflective qualities. There appears to be no damage of any kind to the exterior, and even the chrome has a wonderful luster.
Powerful, luxurious, and likely fun as all get out to drive, this Buick Invicta would be a great cruiser for the local car meets, and parades. Would you cruise in this drop top?
