Restored example of Buick’s low-production, top-of-the-line, mid-century convertible
One of only 1,690 model 76X Skylark Anniversary Convertibles produced for 1953
Nut-and-bolt restoration in 2011 by Xcentric AutoSports of Ontario, Canada
Restored to factory specification, including respray, rebuilding various mechanical components, replacing the interior, installing a new top, re-chroming trim pieces, and much more
Finished in correct Osage Cream over white leather with black inserts
Powered by Buick’s first modern V-8 engine, displacing 322 ci and producing 188 hp
Based on the premium Series-70 Roadmaster chassis but with a look all its own, including no “ventiports”—a Buick signature styling cue—on the front fenders
Standard equipment beyond anything previously offered by Buick, including power steering, power brakes, and Dynaflow automatic transmission
Rides on chrome wire wheels with wide whitewall tires
Includes invoices and other paperwork for the 2011 restoration, reproduction period-style owner’s documentation, and a shop manual
Roadmaster Skylark Anniversary Convertibles remain highly collectible due to their low production numbers and unique bodywork
Addendum: Please note that this lot is titled by the body number G1035.
