The Buick Skylark was built to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Buick marque. Its chassis was based on the Roadmaster and was offered only as a convertible.
For 1954, the appearance was changed using the Buick Century as a design inspiration. Subtle cues were added throughout, including a tapered rear deck with eye-catching chrome fins. The front fenders did not have the traditional Buick ventiports and its long bonnet concealed a high compression V8 engine that displaced 322 cubic-inches and produced 220 horsepower. 40-spoke Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels decorated the whitewall tires and accented the sweepspear side chrome trim. The interior was luxurious with a painted dash, an abundance of chrome, and full leather upholstery. It was well equipped with a host of power options including power brakes, power top, power windows, four-way power seats, a power antenna, Selectronic radio, and power steering. Shifting was easy with the Dynaflow automatic gearbox which was courtesy of the Roadmaster.
This example has been treated to a restoration. Its speedometer reads just over 78,000 miles. It is painted in white with red wheel wells and has a new white vinyl convertible top.
There were only 1690 Buick Skylarks built in 1953 and only 836 delivered a year later. At a price of nearly $5,000 when new, these were very exclusive vehicles.
This Skylark was brought to the 2008 Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $175,000 - $225,000. It was offered without reserve which worked well for the buyer who purchased this newly restored vehicle for the sum of $115,500 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2008
