BUICK Land Yacht

- The body lines on this 1960 Buick Invicta are so sleek! Drop that bubble top on this land yacht and you've got yourself one iconic classic car. This Invicta has the original interior with an incredibly detailed dash! Fire up at that Wildcat 455 and you're cruisin' in style!
Recorded at Midnight at the Oasis in Yuma, AZ.

Seeing a car like this reminds me of how bland and boring cars are today.
Todays cars, all look too similar. Then, even Buick, Chevrolet Pontiac, Cadillac were different........
I never heard or seen one of them but man that is one beautiful car.
Wonderful car. The body's swoops, bends, and creases must have been a nightmare for the autobody repair shops. I would imagine there were a lot of places for rust to develop as well. Buick had a lot of great cars through the years, with great model names, such as Invicta, Wildcat, LeSabre, Electra, Riviera. The 1950's and '60's were awesome decades for American cars.
Another tuna boat of the time was the 1960 Pontiac Bonneville.
60 Bonnevilles are nice.
@@vladtheimpala5532 I know, my older brother & I both had one at the same time in 1970. That 396 was a good motor & quick.
I had a 67 it was big , not as artistic, as a 60(you got me beat in looks) but it would still navigate in city traffic when I had one in 2010, but don't ask me to find a parking spot.
Tuna boat?
@@larryparish5984 You mean 389?
When I was seventeen my parents had one just like that, but silver. I remember driving it. I'd love to have one now. A friend has a black one.
Such attention to detail.....so cool! They just don't make 'em like they used to.
I like those late 50s and early 60s cars. They look like a cross between spaceships and fighter jets. Space Age baby! Keep your head on a swivel for those flying saucers!
Wow! This car is a real work of art, love all the body lines.
The 1960 Buick Invicta is a beautiful big car!!!
2:08 The coolest feature on the 59-61 Buicks. One sweet bubble top, you won't see very many of these.
Thank you for preserving, Steve!
Gorgeous Buick ! My buddy in High School had a white '60 Invicta !
I hope you still have your buddy! 👍
Swell
How beautiful I always loved invictas such cool lines
Beautiful and aerodynamic.
Aerodynamic? Not at all. Full size cars like this were actually wider in front than the rear. Bubble top was somewhat aero.
@@christianmotley262 they were for the times.
That is Some Land Yacht.:-))))))
Why are you insulting and demeaning this car?
@@styldsteel1 I wasn’t it’s a great looking Vehicle.
@@styldsteel1 He's actually complimenting it. Land Yacht is a reference to the length of the car since it's so long like a yacht but on land hence Land Yacht 👍
That rear window rendered the back seat an oven when the sun was overhead or to the rear on sunny, warm days. No shade to be had. And, of course, A/C in cars was rare in those days. Ours was white... don't remember it having quite so much chrome. Thanks for the memories!
More like a land cruiser than a land yacht. Streamlined to the max. These were not just cars; they were works of art.
That car is a 100 out of 10, museum worthy I'd say. I so badly want to own a 50s or 60s American car such as this. The designs from that era man were just something different
Definitely NOT a museum piece......added on radio and cutouts for the rear speakers immediately disqualify it. It's just a nice Sunday driver.
Like it
The 59 & 60 Invictas were very cool looking iconic. As far as styling, I liked the angled headlights & the more aggressive looking grill on the 59 better!!! Aside from styling they were both great durable cars. In fact,they did a 10,000 Mile in 5000 minutes endurance test on a 60 Invicta with only driver & tire changes. They refueled while driving on the Daytona Speedway track going an average speed of 120 MPH . It was pretty awesome,but getting back to your Invicta,you have the engine upgrade & it seems like you have the mechanicals in order so now do the car some real justice with some high quality body & paint work & some high quality reupholstering!!!
Sweet ride and built in South Gate, where my brother lives and across the street from where I grew up in Huntington Park, CA. Also South Gate is where Cypress Hill is from!!!!
I owned a ‘60 Chevy beauty from ‘66 to ‘75. Loved it….. drove it a million miles….🤣
But, I gotta say, the ‘60 Buick was better looking….. truly a work of art.
Now that's a realy realy cool car
Love your presentations, that said, I owned a '60 Electra 2 dr. coupe with about 67k original on it in '76. Had no idea how rare it was or would have kept it, thanks for the overview of a very similar model. Have always regretted letting mine go, one of the special features I will always remember is the rear-seat heat!
The actual car in Robin Moore's book, "The French Connection" with the drug stash in it, was a 1960 Buick Invicta
Don't want to give my age away however I took my drivers test in a 1959 Buick Invicta convertible. Passed the first time too. :^)
The instructed must have saw that car & figured if you can park that you're good to go!
My first car was a 1947 Ford pickup
@@HoschtonBoy 67 mustang,6 cylinder fastback & white letters tires!!
Beautiful.
Nice1960 Buick it gets my two 👍👍 Thanks Dennis another great classic car👍👍
I’ve got a 60 Invicta Custom with the bucket seats and center console (very rare). Let me know when you’re in Minnesota. You can check ‘em out!
Nowadays I'm a Cadillac guy but this yr of Buick was gorgeous. Dad had a 61 Electra.Pontiac,Buick, & impalas were just beautiful but make way for the 61-67 Lincoln suicide door .they have a cult like following.I swear I can smell that interior on that invicta. It was quintessential mid century modern.
My dad had a 4-door '60 Invicta. I always thought they resembled the Batmobile.
Could have hidden the modern stereo. Detracts from the originality.
Yes.
Should have gone with Custom Autosound!
I wish they would not up date the audio system at all, hidden, retro or other wise. Still a very cool car.
I owned a 60 Le Sabre. I miss having it today.
That's grown up Elroy Jetsons car!😁😇💪🏿👌🏿
Art on wheels.
Beautiful Car...gorgeous dashboard
Correct me if in wrong but...
didn't Ward Cleaver from the Leave It To Beaver fame drive one of these in the opening of the show?
Among the cars Ward drives are a 1957 Ford Fairlane in the first season, and 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, and 1963 Plymouth Furys in subsequent seasons, all of them four-door hardtops.
I think Dodge - Plymouth were uses exclusively in that show.I'm trying to think of a show that used these.Fast times at Rosemont High...Judge Reinhold had a blue sedan like this 1.
I googled it,in 57 they started w/ a ford fair lane & changed to Plymouth a yr or 2 later.
I could swear I saw Ward drive up in a Buick land yacht in the beginning of each episode. Or maybe it was a Chrysler Imperial. Hmm...I must do some research.
@@johna.4334 A Chrysler or an Imperial, 2 different cars. See your Chrysler, Plymouth, Imperial dealer.
1960 was the first year for the Tri-Shield emblem on Buicks.
I have a 60 Lesabre 2 door ht. Nice car
Superb video! Thanks!
You knew you were looking at an Buick coming down the road. 😎👍🇨🇦
Wow! What a Beautiful example of an American automobile! Jeezzz! That mirror dash 😍
What a beauty 👏👏👏
👍👍👍
Hard to believe one of the wildest looking cars you could buy in 1959 and 1960 was a Buick. For my generation(Im 37), a Buick was about the most stodgy/boring thing you could buy, except maybe for the 80's Regal/Grand National. We have no memories of the cool Buicks like the 60's/70's Riveria or this googie masterpiece
Toned down the 1960 from the 1959? You are very mistaken, just look at the sides of the 1959 Buick and how smooth they were and all the sculpting on the 1960. The 1960 had much more added styling compared to the 1959s more restrained appearance. I own a 1960 LeSabre and it is a great car.
We had a 1960 Buick Invicta sedan when I was growing up and my entire family really liked it because it was so good looking. One feature my dad didn't like however was the dog leg A-pillars because he knocked his knee on it getting into the vehicle.
👍🧡
Nice looking boat I'd love to drive!👀
👍👍👍
As a car collector myself, honestly I find the term " land yacht" to be quite insulting and rather demeaning. Quite the opposite of a compliment.
Why is it insulting to you?
To me, 'yacht' means luxury and comfort. Which this car has. But if your idea of a cool boat is a roaring speedboat, and not a sedate cruise in a yacht, I guess you might see 'yacht' as meaning 'big and slow' and therefore 'crap'.
Yachts are expensive, not everyone can own a yacht. Same with this beauty, I bet she’s expensive too and not too many people can afford a car like this. So being called a land yacht is quite fitting for this beauty. And with the motor she has, it would not surprise me that she’s capable of being a racing land yacht. 😉
I drove a '61 New Yorker(wish it were mine!) and at the show when people referred to it as a land yacht with a smile I replied "Yeah I need to find a place to dock it" .
Calling a car such as this a "land yacht," I his the same as calling a Pontiac GTO a "Goat" - it's always said and meant with love.
back in high school i had a 61 impala bubble top...
Those fins are “toned down “?
Compared to height of the fin era, 1959, they were. Fins on their way out and by '62 would gone.
That is a beautiful car 🚙 They really now know how to build a fantastic looking car back in those days stunning museum piece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Le Sabre had a 364 nail head. Invicta had the 401 nailhea
- 👍 👍 🔧
Nice car great job Dennis and crew
My parents each had one.
Piękne amerykańskie auto.
Ditto...nice find
Beautiful car
Whats the diference between the Buick Invicta or LeSabre?
Invite was more entry level,then Lesabre ,Electra & 225 which stood for 225 " or almost 19'.
Here in Au we adopted US music, movies, cola and burgers but sadly not the cars.
The 50's and 60's American cars are such amazing and unique things.
It's too bad Au didn't adopt driving on the right side of the road -you would have had more American land yachts / Yank tanks imported into your country.
@@johna.4334 The decision to drive on the wrong side still haunts us to this day. We miss out on so many good cars.
@@CathodeRayNipplez
It's never too late to change; Sweden changed over back in the '60s and Myanmar did so recently.
@@johna.4334 Myanmar is a mess because of it. Bus doors opening into traffic is just one of the hilarities'
We prob could have achieved a switch in the 60's too but now it is simply too late due infrastructure.
Plus we're now so broke ass it's to expensive.
@David Galea
Yeah, when I traveled around Ausieland back in the '90s I noticed a plethora of rice burners and few, if any muscle cars.
Question: Isn't Australia energy independent? If yes, then why the eff does the government tax so heavily muscle car imports with V8s? Why does the Ausie government want everybody driving Japanese rice burners? Boggles the mind to say the least.
