Buick Invicta History

A whole new generation of Buicks swept in for 1961. Gone from the 1961 Buick Invicta and other models were flaring fins, scowling brows over headlamps, and the impression of great size. In their place was a more-sculptured, more-conservative design. The "Clean Look of Action" is how Buick described the new styling concept.

The Invicta model line was cut in half for 1961, the four-door sedan and the two station wagons having been dropped. It was the only Buick series that continued the bodyside molding all the way around the sculpted area -- which, on Invictas alone, could be painted in a contrast color as an option. Like the costlier Electras, Invictas had bright accents on the taillamp lenses and a thin chrome strip that edged the top of the rear fascia. In the rear, oval taillights were hooded by chrome housings and protected by a deep-set bumper. New roof designs were granted to each body style, but all traded in the once-chic "dogleg" A-pillar for a post that slanted forward from the top, then curved back just before reaching the body beltline, creating almost teardrop-shaped ventpanes. The interior featured a new symmetrical dash design that dipped in the center above a brightly trimmed stack that held the radio when ordered. Mirro­magic was continued. Underneath was a brand-new X-type frame. A new rearsuspenion consisted of a three-link design that had the rear axle located to the frame by two outboard lower links and one upper stabilizer bar.
