Buick has dusted off one of
its classic nameplates â??
Invicta â?? for a new concept
luxury vehicle that will be
formally unveiled in mid-April
at the Beijing auto show.

General Motors says the
Invicta was jointly developed
at corporate design centers in
China and North America â?? a
pattern that could mark the
future design direction of the
Buick brand, which is expected
to share more models between
those two markets.

GM says the Invicta showcar
continues the thread of the
futuristic styling theme
introduced last year on the
Buick Riviera concept that was
displayed at the Shanghai
show. It borrows such
signature Buick design cues as
the chrome waterfall grille,
portholes and 'sweepspear'
curving line that runs along
the vehicle's flanks.

The Invicta name â?? Latin for
'unconquerable' or
'unvanquished' â?? was used
briefly by Buick from 1959-'63
on an uplevel version of the
big LeSabre, and was
supplanted by the Wildcat. The
Invicta brand also appeared on
a series of British cars from
1925-'50, and more recently on
a limited-edition British
sports car called the S1.
