Looking better Invicta's trim is less evident. This is a quite rare plain Electra (not an Electra 225). For 1959 and 1960 bothe Electra and Electra 225 were available in this body style (Sport Sedan). The two other Body styles for the Electra were the 4 door pillared sedan and the Sport Coupe. For Electra 225 the other two body styles were the Riviera Sedan ( a e door hardtop with 6 windows) and the convertible. |

Yes but the GM four door HT flat top roof was called Sport Sedan by Chevrolet and four-door hardtop by Buick: Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" (Vista by Pontiac, Holiday Sport Sedan by Oldsmobile and simply Four Window by Cadillac) |

I am almost sure even Buick used the name "Sport Sedan" between 1959 and few years later. |
