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.
Exterior and Interior
The 1971 Buick Skylark features simple yet classic lines, occupying the company’s midsized spot in the lineup. Although by 1970, it was an entry-level offering, it was still a Buick through and through, and as such, featured the style and luxury expected of it. Our featured car is painted in silver, highlighting its crisp lines. The Skylark features large chrome bumpers and headlight surrounds and boasts a contrasting vinyl roof that accentuates its two-door pillar-less coupe’s design. The rear quarters feature Buick logos on the black vinyl top, while' Skylark Custom' badges are located above the side markers. This 1971 Buick Skylark rides on 14-inch wheels with chrome lips and Buick center caps, which are wrapped in Michelin all-season tires. The cabin is upholstered in black leather, and the front seats consist of a bench with individual seat backs. The driver is presented with a two-spoke steering wheel and a column-mounted shifter. Behind the wheel, you’ll find HVAC vents, a 120 mph speedometer, and a readout for the gear selector. There are also warning lights for the car’s temperature, oil pressure, generator, and brakes, while you’ll also find a demarcated cigar lighter and climate control panel in the center console.
Engine
Under the hood lies a 350ci V8 engine fed through a 4-barrel carburetor, which is coupled with a GM Turbo Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. The owner reports that this car includes drum brakes, as well as independent front suspension, and coil spring rear suspension.
The 1968 Buick Skylark Custom Coupe represents Buick’s approach to combining V8 performance with refined styling and comfort during the classic American coupe era. Showing 116,588 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a 2-Speed Super Turbine automatic transmission and features desirable equipment including power steering, and a classic two-tone hardtop roof. Finished in Blue Mist Metallic with a matching Blue interior, this Skylark Custom retains its period-correct character with chrome exterior trim, deluxe wheel covers, and Buick’s signature blend of style and drivability.
The 1967 Buick Skylark Coupe embodies the refined styling and effortless V8 performance that made Buick a standout during the golden age of American muscle.

This example has been tastefully maintained while retaining its classic character, featuring Buick's desirable 340ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission. Although the mileage is unknown, the car presents as a solid driver with period-correct styling and a selection of tasteful upgrades, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a classic American coupe that can be enjoyed on weekend cruises, local shows, or leisurely road trips.
1970 marked an important year for Buick’s midsize muscle car lineup, as the Skylark 350 Sport Coupe blended the brand’s signature comfort with increasingly aggressive performance styling. While Buick’s GS models often stole the spotlight, well-optioned Skylarks like this example have become increasingly appreciated for offering the same muscular A-body proportions and V8-powered driving experience at a more approachable level. Showing approximately 19,245 miles on the odometer, this Skylark benefits from a substantial refurbishment and modernization effort that included drivetrain work, suspension upgrades, steering enhancements, interior refresh, and cosmetic refinishing. Finished in Bamboo Cream over a Saddle vinyl interior, this Buick stands out with tasteful GS Stage 1-inspired styling cues, upgraded handling components, and classic American muscle car presence.
The 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow Limited Edition marked the end of an era, serving as a commemorative send-off for the Riviera nameplate after decades as one of Buick’s most distinctive personal luxury coupes. This example is #27 of just 200 produced and shows only 28,978 miles. Finished in Sterling Silver Metallic over a Medium Gray leather interior, it pairs understated late-1990s luxury with the stronger personality of Buick’s supercharged 3800 Series II V6. Special Silver Arrow badging, interior logos, and its numbered plaque distinguish this car from a standard Riviera, while the low production count gives it genuine collector appeal.
The 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan comes from a brief and historically significant model year, with civilian automobile production soon giving way to wartime priorities. Showing approximately 78,842 miles, this example is powered by Buick’s 248ci “Fireball” inline-eight, bored .030-inch over, and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in gray over a gray interior, it retains the formal proportions and unmistakable prewar character of Buick’s Super line while also benefiting from a refreshed front suspension. The current owner notes that the radio, heater, and temperature gauge are inoperable, and the car retains its original spare tire.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. The car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
