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.

If one were to hear the brand name Buick, what would spring to mind are some of the most impressive classic cars in history. An interesting fact about Buick is that it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors. It was founded more than a century ago and granted the world with fascinating automobiles that are coveted today. The Buick Special, otherwise known as the Series 40, is a model line produced by the company that was usually its lowest-priced model. In the year 1940, Buick marketed their year lineup as new and improved, and our subject, the 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe, was among them.
The Buick Regal Grand National is an institution among fans of classic muscle cars. It’s a fairly standard recipe by modern standards: take an unassuming coupe and add forced induction to the engine to create bigger power figures. But back in the ’80s, turbo-powered American cars weren’t as common as you’d imagine. The Buick Regal Grand National Turbo was one of the few to harness the power of a turbo in the chassis of a muscle car coming from a V6 motor. This 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo on sale is a unique custom creation featuring multiple upgrades under the hood, as well as cosmetic touches to finish off this unique build. In addition, the owner reports that this car has covered just 6,000 miles since the original engine was rebuilt.
The Special was built for several decades, undergoing multiple facelifts, including this particular iteration of a 1964 Buick Special Restomod. An automobile built for the people, the Special was a full-size car that came in different forms, this one being a 2-door. A restomod project, this Buick has been saved from expiration and given a new lease on life, ready to be enjoyed and appreciated by all passers-by, especially the driver. Packed with plenty of modern conveniences, a slick paint job, and a rebuilt engine that the current owner reports has less than 3,000 miles on the clock, very little can be said to turn down this special Buick.

Catalina sounds quite exotic, doesn’t it? Well, it’s a fitting name for Pontiac’s top-of-the-line offering of the '50s and '60s. Initially seen as a trim level for the Chieftain in 1950, the Catalina became its own model line-up by 1959. The range would expand over time to cover coupes, convertibles, hardtops, sedans, and station wagons. So why not experience a slice of Catalina goodness, with this 1962 Pontiac Catalina Convertible? The car has done 75,000 miles and is for sale by its original owner.
