When did the Buick Invicta series come out?
The Invicta series was introduced as a full line of body styles for model year 1959. Sales never approached that of either the entry-level LeSabre or top level Electra models, but were consistent with the traditional sales penetration of Buick’s sporty mid-priced models (the 1954 to 1958 Century and 1963 to 1970 Wildcat).
When did Buick put VentiPorts on front fenders?
The Invicta continued the tradition of installing Ventiports on the front fenders from the Century. In a survey of 1959 Buick owners in the March, 1959 issue of Popular Mechanics, 47.1% of owners like the ride comfort, though many (25.2%) said the drive shaft tunnel was too big.

What kind of tires are on a 1959 Buick?
Many of you are aware that I experienced steel belt separation problems with the radial wide whitewall tires installed on my 1959 Buick. The problem necessitated replacement of all four tires on the return trip from last summer’s Buick Centennial in Flint. Coker Tire has now given me a $400 credit toward replacement of the troubled radials.
