Dear mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Admittedly a little off-topic, but Hemming's has a report on the custom 1960 Invicta that won the SEMA battle of the builders in the hot rod category:

At least it has a correct nailhead instead of a crate engine although "enhanced" . . . .

FYI . . . . . . .

I remember one year Hot Rod challenged the SEMA cars to drive the Hot Rod Power Tour. Most were apparently afraid but about six of them actually did the Power Tour Long Haul and proved they could do more than just look good! Props to them!

Beautiful car!
 I'm thinking that I may have seen this car a few years back in a custom build shop in Omaha.
