Steve_Colby Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Kind of makes you do a double-take... The location is an old school in Oldtown, MD with some kind of car repair/restoration business in one side and a restaurant in the old cafeteria. ~ Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mga707 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Looks like it really is a section of a 1960 Buick Invicta or LeSabre (three "portholes"). If not, it's a really well-done replica! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the Show on the Road! Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Steve, Really interesting! I can't recall a two door hardtop coupe in that year Buick. It must have been fairly rare, or as likley, my memory has faded! Dave Keep the Show on the Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilene Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Dave, do a Google image search on 1960 Buick Invicta hardtop -- lots of pics of two-doors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mga707 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 According to my car reference book, two-door hardtops were quite popular in that year's Buick lineup, as they were for all makes at that time. All three nameplates--LeSabre, Invicta, and Electra, offered them. The rare two door model was the pillared coupe (two-door sedan), which was only offered as a bottom-end LeSabre and did not rack up many sales. Two-door sedans, with their 'cheap' aura, were on their way out with nearly all makes at that time, at least in their full-sized offerings.

Keep the Show on the Road! Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Dave, do a Google image search on 1960 Buick Invicta hardtop -- lots of pics of two-doors! Jim, Oh yah, but I meant the one door 1960 Buick Invicta Halffast model shown in the picture! The Halffast was seldom mentioned in the Buick literature. It sat only one person and as you see, lacked a steering wheel. As I recall, it was nicknamed the "halffast" by the press when a reporter quipped that is was the most halffast car he had ever seen!
