The Invicta series was introduced as a full line of body styles for model year 1959 between the entry-level LeSabre or top level Electra models, Available as a 2 or 4 Hardtop, 2 door Convertible and 4 door Station Wagon, and with either a 364 cu in or 401 cu in Nailhead V8 engine mated to a 2 Speed Twin Turbine Automatic or a 3 speed Triple Turbine Automatic. The Invicta continued the tradition of installing Ventiports on the front fenders from the Century.
For 1960 the Invicta was restyled with twin parallel front lights rather than the canted angle lights of 1959, the got concave vertical bars rather than the 1959 square blocks
According to Robin Moore's 1969 book The French Connection, "the 1960 Buick Invicta had a peculiarity in body construction conducive to the installations of...extraordinary, virtually detection-proof traps concealed within the fenders and undercarriage" that made it a popular model for international heroin smugglers
