What car is this - pic included
My dad lived in Ohio as a teen and then moved to FL. THis is the car that they had in 1962 when they moved. What is it? I'm not expecting this to be hard, but I'm just not that familiar with that era and this sort of car.

Deuce and a quarter.
Edit. Hobie is right, the Electra is bigger and it had 4 portholes. BUT, the car in the pic is a '60, not a '62 Edit. I misread the OP. Of course they could have had a 60 in 1962.

A LeSabre would have the LeSabre emblem in cursive ahead of the front wheel. The car in question has the Invicta rectangular emblem.

Thanks folks. I knew you'd nail it for me.
The windshield and rear window are amazing. |

Not smart enough to figure how to imbed the image. One of Kindig's best at '59 Invicta. Saw it a Barrett Jackson in Jan. Stunning

The OP pic is what GM called 4-door sports roof. No B pillar. To me, GM especially, was at the height of styling decadence by '58/60. There is sooo much going on with this example, look at the rear wrap around glass, the horizontal scoop flaring to the headlights. Wow!!

I think I could take a picture of a front marker light on any car, post it here, and someone would identify the car within 30 minutes.

But we have had some folks post pics of partial cars that were identified. Some have been really impressive.
