Emberglo Project: 1966 Ford Thunderbird

73k-Mile Beauty: 1962 Buick Invicta Sedan

Invicta is one of those Buick names that’s not heard in automobile conversations quite as often as some of the others, and it’s probably because of the car’s somewhat short lifespan.  The Invicta entered the brand’s lineup as a… more»
