A low mileage ’54 Buick Skylark convertible in Willow Green? Sounds like an enthusiast’s dream. In 1953, the Buick Roadmaster Skylark was introduced to celebrate Buick’s 50th anniversary and was created by Harley Earl, a distinguished GM designer. It was priced much higher than the standard Roadmaster convertible. 1954 brought some radical styling changes, moving it towards the “long and low” design concept that marked the mid to late 1950s. Earl redesigned the Skylark and made it smaller and lighter by putting it on the Century series 40 Chassis. The vehicle came with 12v electricals and a 322 cubic inch Fireball V8 (both firsts in the Buick world). However, despite the redesign, sales hit a slump, possibly partly due to the fact that it was based on the shorter Century series 40 chassis and not the Roadmaster series 60 series like its predecessor. Only 836 examples ended up being made before production was stopped, and the owner states that this beauty was number 44 off the line in the Flint MI plant. It is also reportedly one of just 166 that remain registered in the US today. Overall, this is a rare and beautifully maintained refreshed original survivor. It can only be described as “stunning” and draws a crowd wherever she goes!
Can there be too much green on a car? Well in this case, the answer is no. This Buick presents in Willow Green with a beautiful two-toned Green Leather Interior, which really accentuates the vast chromework. The dark and light green interior matches the exterior perfectly. In addition, the owner states that the interior leather and materials are in great shape. They recently had all the foam under the Leather removed and replaced. But it doesn’t just stop there; being a 50s Buick V8, even the engine is green. Very few cars before or after this era could pull off the green and chrome combo in such a classy manner as this vehicle is stunningly beautiful. Speaking of chrome, those wide whitewalls are mounted on chrome wire wheels, and, on the topic of wheels, that Continental kit was reportedly dealer-installed at the time of the original delivery and the Kelsey Hayes spoked wheels only properly add to the charm of this classic beauty. It appears to still have the Selectronic AM radio installed by Buick and additionally, this generation were also said to have come with power windows and brakes as standard equipment.
Under the hood, this vehicle retains the 322ci (5.3L) Fireball V8 (nicknamed the “Nailhead” by enthusiasts), which came with a Dynaflow automatic transmission. With just 88,000 miles on the original, refreshed engine, the combination of that engine and transmission along with the 50s suspension should make this car a perfect boulevard cruiser and car show beauty, especially with the convertible top down.

Originally a trim designation, the Buick Skylark became a standalone option with the 1964 model year. The second generation Skylark followed in 1968 with a new design. It also featured additional safety features, such as parking lights that illuminated with the car’s headlights, shoulder belts, and side markers. The design was sleek, with the two-door coupes receiving fastback-like styling, a long hood with quad lights, and a simple yet elegant grille up front. While a range of engines were available, our featured 1971 Buick Skylark is powered by the 350-4 This 1971 Skylark could serve as either a great starter classic or a valuable addition to a collection.
In the automotive world, there are multiple cultures; you get the custom build scene, the imports, classic muscle, European motors and many more sub cultures.

In the Sixties, everyone wanted to get in on the Personal Luxury Car mania. Buick’s contender was aptly named the Riviera, which is Italian for coastline. The first-generation Riviera was introduced to the public in 1963, and the model would continue until 1999, spanning eight generations. Today’s 1971 Buick Riviera comes from the third generation, and has got some modern upgrades under its belt. The current owner of this San Diego-based car also reports that all receipts and invoices are available with the sale.
Buick’s Gran Sport or GS badge was applied to several of the brand’s high-performance variants of models such as the Skylark, Riviera, Wildcat, Century, Apollo, and more. Since Buick was meant to be a luxury brand slotting in just beneath Cadillac in GM’s hierarchy, the Gran Sport badge represented the sportiest luxury car from GM, since Cadillac did not do sporting machines. Up for sale today is a fully restored 1969 Buick Gran Sport 350 with a total 77,364 miles on the clock and only 500 miles reported since its comprehensive makeover. The car also comes with some interesting updates, making it easier and more pleasurable to drive.
Third generation or C3 Corvettes are well known for their muscular styling in particular. This era basically saw the Corvette lift its looks straight from a concept car of the time, and even though it passed through one of the worst times in American automotive history; the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars that could be bought. That makes the C3 a survivor and a definitive classic that is worth investing in. Want a particularly well looked after C3?

The car has got a light 22,067 miles to its name and is a single-owner vehicle, we’re told.

Chevrolet offered the 150 model line-up from 1953 to 1957. The 150 was Chevy’s economy or budget offering, aimed at helping Americans acquire mobility in a cost-effective manner.
