1970 Buick Skylark

The 1970 Buick Skylark wore a new design with a vertically textured grille in the front with a grid overlay, side rectangular marker lamps, smoother body lines, and narrow lower body moldings. Skylark emblems could be found on the roof sail panels and the Skylark signature appeared on the rear fenders. Body styles included a coupe and sedan on the base trim level with pricing beginning at $2,680. Standard equipment included an overhead valve six-cylinder engine displacing 250 CID and offering 155 horsepower. Other equipment included mandated safety features, and a left-hand outside rearview mirror and back-up lights. An all-vinyl interior was a no-cost option for the coupe and an additional cost for the sedan.

The Skylark 350 Series was identical to the base trim level but added 350 emblems to the body and a Buick emblem could be found on the center grille.

The Skylark Custom was an intermediate model which added lower body and wheelhouse moldings. The Buick emblem was placed on the center of the grille and Custom badges appeared beneath the rear fender signatures. The interiors were all-vinyl or Kenora cloth and vinyl. Convertible and coupes could be purchased with bucket seats; a bench seat was standard.
