Thumbs up One of the most sinister production cars ever...

Just found out about this one...

Invicta Black Prince

Made from 1946-1950, approx. 25 produced. 2998cc straight-six with double overhead cams.

Superbly elegant, but much too heavy and complex to succeed. Most survivors have been converted to four-speed synchromesh, usually Jaguar.
1946: The VW Beetle was also new, with 6-volt electrics, while this Invicta had 24-volt electrics! Twin plugs per cylinder, pre-dating Alfa Romeo by a decade or two. Built in electric jacks - who needs to manually crank? CVT transmission (hydro-kinetic turbo transmitter!! lol ), all independent suspension, gorgeous bodywork, and one of the most sinister model names I've ever heard...I love it
