This is the Buick for those with a boundless zest for exciting automotive adventure. The spirit-lifting Skylark - designated as Buick’s luxury sports car –demonstrated flight-inspire design lines, with a road-holding compactness and a corsair-sweep of a softly-finned rear deck and a pulse-inducing performance second to no Buick ever built to this point in time.

Rich with many features of tomorrow, as seen on Buick’s experimental car; the Wildcat – the Skylark stands only four feet, eleven inches in height with the top in the up position. The Skylark is lavishly fitted a gorgeous interior and rolls on a low, wire wheeled 122-inch chassis.

With only 836 produced during this model year, this brilliant sportster was quite limited in production. As one might expect for this car in period, it was powered by the strong 321-cid, 200-hp V-8 Fireball engine and also has the Twin-Turbine Dynaflow automatic transmission. Additional standard features includes telescopic radio antenna, Selectronic radio, WeatherWarden heater and defroster, dual exterior mirrors, whitewall tires; power steering, brakes, four-way seat, top and windows.

This particular example is completely restored to “the highest level possible” and has only 35 test miles driven since this process was completed. Finished in Arctic White with Matador Red wheelwells and red leather interior; this beautiful Skylark is ultra-clean from front to back, plus its engine bay is also fastidiously presented. This highly desired model will be a wonderful addition to any owner’s garage.
