1962 Buick Invicta 4-Door Hardtop

This 1962 Buick Invicta 4-Door Hardtop is a wonderfully imposing full-size Buick from the early 1960s—big, elegant, powerful, and remarkably well preserved. An original Arizona car with just under 76,000 original miles, it wears a handsome Glacier Blue finish and retains its distinctive original plaid interior. As Buick’s full-size performance-oriented model before the Wildcat assumed that role, the Invicta offered effortless performance and luxury, and this highly optioned example is an especially appealing survivor.
