The Buick Skylark was a passenger car produced by the Buick division of General Motors. The model was made in six production runs. In each production, the car design varied quite dramatically. This was due to changing technology, changing tastes, and new standards being implemented over the years.

1953-1954

Introduced to mark Buick's 50th anniversary, the Buick Skylark (a name previously used by short-lived Hupp for their sporty 1939 Cord-based "Hupmobile Skylark") on one of three specialty convertibles produced in 1953 by General Motors; the other two were the Oldsmobile Fiesta and the Cadillac Eldorado. All three were limited production vehicles promoting General Motors' design leadership. Of the three, the Skylark had the most successful production run with 1,690 produced. This was considered quite an amazing sales feat, for the car had a list price in 1953 of slightly in excess of US$5,000. However, many languished in dealer showrooms and were sold at discount.

All 1,690 regular-production Skylarks built in 1953 (and all in 1954) were convertibles. The 1953s were based on the 2-door Roadmaster convertible, having identical dimensions (except height), almost identical convenience and appearance equipment, and a Roadmaster drive train. In 1953, the model designation for the Skylark was 76X, while the model designation for the Roadmaster convertible was 76R. The few options available to the Roadmaster convertible buyer were standard equipment to the Skylark buyer, albeit the base price for the well-equipped Roadmaster convertible was only about US$3,200.

The Roadmaster was an automobile built by the Buick division of General Motors. ...

The 1953 Skylark featured V8 power and a 12 volt electrical system, both a first for Buick, as well as full-cutout wheel openings, a styling cue that would make its way to the main 1954 Buick line. Also making its way into the 1954 Buick line was the cut-down door at the base of the side window line that bounced back up to trace around the rear window (or convertible top). This styling clue stayed with Buick for many years and can be found on any number of automobile brands to this day. The Liberty V8 aircraft engine clearly shows the configuration A V8 engine is a V engine with eight cylinders. ...

The 1953 Buick Skylark was a handmade car in many respects. The stampings for the hood, trunk lid and a portion of the convertible tub were the same as the 1953 Roadmaster convertible (and Super convertible, model 56R). The stampings for the front fenders, rear fenders, the outer doors, and a portion of the convertible tub were unique to the Skylark. All Skylark convertible tubs were finished with various amounts of lead filler. It is not unusual to find a substantial amount of lead filler just behind the doors near the bottom of the window line. The inner doors of the Skylark were made from the inner doors of the 2-door Roadmaster and Super by cutting the stamping in half approximately parallel with the ground and then welding the two pieces back together in a jig at an angle that produced the necessary door dip (see photos of finished car). The Roadmaster was an automobile built by the Buick division of General Motors. ...

Although there were many unique design features of the 1953 Skylark, one that goes almost unnoticed today is that the top and seating of the car were lowered a few inches below the Roadmaster and Super convertibles. This was achieved not by changing the frame, body or suspension, but by cutting the windshield almost three inches shorter and lowering the side windows and convertible top frame. To accommodate people without bumping their heads with the top up, the seat frames and steering column were lowered.

The wheels of the 1953 Skylark were true wire wheels, produced by Kelsey-Hayes, with everything chromed save for the plated and painted "Skylark" center emblem. Although this was high style in 1953, the wheels were heavier than the regular steel wheels, would require periodic truing to keep them straight and balanced, and required tubes within the tires just when tubeless tires were becoming the norm, as they were throughout the rest of the Buick line. There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...

For 1954, the Skylark returned, although radically restyled [1]. This Skylark featured elongated wheel cutouts, the interior of which were available painted a contrasting color to the body color. For example, black cars could receive white or red wheel wells. The trunk of the restyled Skylark was sloped into a semi-barrel shape. Tail lights were housed in large chromed fins that projected from the tops of the rear fenders.

The car was now based on the all-new shorter Century/Special chassis and not the top-of-the-line Roadmaster/Super chassis, also all-new for 1954. However, it did share the Roadmaster and Century powertrain, the highest output in the 1954 Buick model lineup. This powertrain was an evolutionary improvement, but very similar to the 1953 powertrain. Buick Century is a model name used by the Buick division of General Motors for a line of fullsize performance vehicles from 1936 to 1942 and 1954 to 1958; Buick also used the Century name from 1973 to 2004 for its value-added midsize cars. ... 1940 Buick Coupé Straight 8 Special 4. ...

The model designation for the 1954 Buick Skylark was "100", a completely unique designation. The short wheelbase cars were the Buick Special: series 40, the Buick Century: series 60, and the Buick Skylark: series 100, albeit a series of just one model. All production Buick Skylarks were built as 2-door convertibles. They had the same luxury equipment as the 1953 Buick Skylarks.

Like their 1953 counterparts, the 1954 Skylark had a number of unique sheetmetal stampings, but without the hand labor that went into the 1953 Skylark production. In addition to unique front and rear fenders with the elongated wheel cutouts, the 1954 Skylark had a unique trunk with its semi-barrel shape and huge, rounded chrome fins. Interestingly, the hood was also unique to the 1954 Skylark in a small way. The hood ornament was quite different from all other Buick models for the 1954 model year. However, this same hood ornament, although unique in size to just this one model in 1954, was to portend the design of the 1955 Buick hood ornament used on all models of that year. The model year of a product is a number used to describe approximately when a product was produced. ...

The cost of the Skylark, mixed with the public's dislike for the restyle and its perceived step down in rank to the Special/Century series versus the 1953 rank with the Super/Roadmaster series resulted in poor sales and the car's demise at the end of the 1954 model year. The model year of a product is a number used to describe approximately when a product was produced. ...

In the fall of 1960, General Motors introduced a trio of new compact cars for the 1961 model year which all shared the same chassis, engines (with some differences between the three models), and basic sheet metal, although each one had unique front and rear styling and differences in exterior and interior trim which made each model unique. Based on the Corvair chassis, the Pontiac Tempest, Oldsmobile F-85, and Buick Special featured front engines and rear-wheel drive.

Introduced in the middle of the 1961 model year and based on the basic Buick Special 2-door sedan (also referred to as a coupe), the 1961 Buick Special Skylark had unique Skylark emblems, unique taillight housings, lower body side moldings, turbine wheel covers, a vinyl-covered roof and featured a more plush all-vinyl interior with bucket seats available as an option.

The basic 1961 Buick Special came standard with a 215 cubic-inch, all-aluminum block, V-8 engine with a 2-barrel carburetor that produced 155 horsepower @ 4600 rpm, the 1961 Buick Special Skylark came standard with a version of this same engine (optional on other Specials) that used a higher compression ratio and a 4-barrel carburetor to produce 185 horsepower.

For the 1962 model year, the Buick Skylark became a model in its own right, instead of being a sub-series of the Special. The 1962 model used the same basic sheet metal as the 1961 models, but was available in two new body-styles, a 2-door convertible coupe (shared with the Special and Special Deluxe models) and a 2-door (pillarless) hardtop coupe that was unique to the Skylark. Tuning of the 215 cubic-inch V-8 increased power to 190 horsepower @ 4800 rpm.

The 1963 Buick Skylarks used the same chassis and wheelbase as the previous 1961 and 1962 models, but adopted new sheet metal that featured boxier styling. Length was up by 5 inches to 193 inches long. The 215 cubic-inch V-8 generated 200 horsepower @ 5000 rpm.

Beginning with the 1964 model year, the Buick Skylark, along with the lower-priced Special from which it was derived, would move to a new intermediate-size chassis that was shared with the Oldsmobile F-85, Pontiac Tempest, and the new Chevrolet Chevelle. The new chassis had a wheelbase of 115 inches and the Buick Special and Skylark had a length of 203.5 inches. Image:1971GranSport. ...

The 215 cubic-inch-displacement aluminum block V-8 engine was no longer used. The tooling for it would eventually be sold to the British manufacturer, Rover, who would produce the engine in several different versions for use in their sedans and Land Rover sport utility vehicles and trucks.

The standard engine was now a 225 cubic inch V-6 with a Rochester 2-barrel carburetor that generated 155 horsepower @ 4400 rpm. This engine had been standard in the Buick Special beginning with the 1962 model year and was basically a Buick V-8 engine with 2 cylinders sawed-off.

The optional engine was a 300 cubic inch V-8 with a Rochester 2-barrel carburetor that generated 210 horsepower @ 4600 rpm.

In addition to the 2-door convertible and hardtop coupe body-styles, there was now a Skylark 4-door sedan available for the first time. Skylarks would continue to have higher levels of exterior and interior trim compared to the Special and Special Deluxe from which they were derived. All-vinyl bucket seats would be standard on the convertible and optional on the hardtop coupe. The sedan would come with cloth-and-vinyl seats standard, and an all-vinyl interior would be optional. An interesting related model was the Buick Sport Wagon, a 4-door station wagon using the same basic chassis and sheet metal as as the Buick Special and Skylark. The Sport Wagon had a wheelbase and overall length that was 5 inches longer than that the of the Buick Special station wagon and that used Skylark interior trim. It featured a raised roof over the cargo area and glass roof panels like those found in the similar Oldsmobile Vista-Cruiser.

Beginning with the 1965 model year, a 2-door sedan (pillared coupe) was added to the Skylark lineup. Inspired in no small part by the sales success of the 1964 Pontiac Tempest LeMans GTO, the Gran Sport option became available in mid-1965 for the three 2-door Skylark models. The Gran Sport option featured Buick’s 401 cubic-inch-displacement V-8 engine using a Carter 4-barrel carburetor and produced 325 horse-power @ 4400 rpm. (It was listed as 400 cubic inches in sales literature, supposedly to escape a General Motors corporate mandate that engines larger than 400 cubic inches not be used in intermediate-sized cars. Other Gran Sport features were unique Gran Sport badging, a heavy-duty radiator, and dual exhausts.

In the 1966 model year, the 4-door (pillared) sedan was replaced by a 4-door (pillarless) hardtop sedan. The convertible, hardtop coupe, and 2-door sedan continued to be available.

The 4-door sedan would rejoin the lineup for the 1967 model year, making a total of 5 different Skylark body-styles. Beginning with the 1967 model year, only the Skylark 2-door sedan would be available with the Buick V-6 engine as standard. The 300 cubic inch V-8 would be standard on all other models, with the exception of the 4-door hardtop sedan which came with a 340 cubic-inch-displacement V-8 engine using a Rochester 2-barrel carburetor and producing 220 horsepower @ 4400 rpm.

The previous Buick Skylark Gran Sport was relabeled the Buick Skylark Gran Sport 400 to reflect its engine. A new model was the Buick Skylark Gran Sport 340, also using the 340 cubic inch V-8 that was standard on the Skylark 4-door hardtop. The Gran Sport 340 was only available as a 2-door hardtop coupe.

The 1968 model year was one of significant change for the Buick Skylark. Although still using the same basic chassis, all of GM’s mid-sized cars adopted a policy of using two different length wheelbases. Two-door models used a shorter wheelbase of 112 inches, while 4-door models used a longer wheelbase of 116 inches. (The Buick Sportwagon and Oldsmobile Vista-Cruiser used an even longer wheelbase of 121 inches.) All GM’s mid-sized cars received all-new sheet metal.

The Gran Sport, previously an option package available on the Skylark, became a separate series. In a reshuffling of models in the lineup, the Special Deluxe replaced the previous Special. The Skylark nameplate was shuffled down a notch and replaced the previous Special Deluxe. The previous Skylark was replaced by a new Skylark Custom.

The basic Skylark was available as a 2-door hardtop coupe or a 4-door sedan. The Skylark Custom came as a 2-door convertible coupe, 2-door hardtop coupe, 4-door hardtop sedan, or 4-door sedan.

The previous V-6 was no longer used. (The tooling for the V-6 engine was sold to Kaiser Industries who used the V-6 engine in their Jeep trucks and sport utility vehicles.) The base engine in Buick Skylarks (and Buick Special sedans) was now a 250 cubic-inch-displacement inline six-cylinder engine using a 1-barrel Rochester carburetor and producing 155 horsepower @ 4200 rpm that was borrowed from Buick’s sister Chevrolet division.

Optional on the Skylark and standard on the Skylark Custom was a new 350 cubic-inch-displacement V-8 engine using a 2-barrel Rochester carburetor and producing 230 horsepower @ 4400 rpm. This engine was based on the previous 300 and 340 cubic-inch-displacement V-8 engines. The Buick Special name was dropped after the 1969 model year.

For 1970 the mid-sized Buicks received new sheet metal again. The Buick Skylark name was moved down another notch, replacing the previous Buick Special. The Skylark became the entry-level Buick available in 2 and 4-door sedans with the 250 cubic-inch inline-6 as standard and the 350 cubic-inch V-8 available as an option, now putting out 260 horsepower @ 4600 rpm.

Replacing the previous Buick Skylark was the Buick Skylark 350, available as a 2-door hardtop coupe or 4-door sedan with the 350 cubic-inch V-8 as standard equipment. The Skylark Custom continued to be available, also using the 350 cubic-inch V-8 as standard equipment and still available as a 2-door convertible coupe, 2-door hardtop coupe, 4-door hardtop sedan, and 4-door sedan. Buick Gran Sport models continued to be available as a separate series. The Buick Sport Wagon name was now used on a conventional 4-door station wagon that no longer featured a raised roof with glass panels over the cargo area, or a longer wheelbase, as in the past. It now used the same 116-inch long wheelbase as the Buick Skylark 4-door sedan and the now-discontinued Buick Special 4-door Station Wagon. It was now, in effect, a Buick Skylark 4-door station wagon in all but name.

For the 1971 model year the base Skylark was available only with the inline 6, now only putting out 145 horsepower due to emission control devices, but in a 2-door hardtop coupe body-style, in addition to the previous 2 and 4-door sedans. The Skylark 350 using the V-8 engine now put out only 230 horsepower. It was now available as a 2-door sedan, in addition to the previous 2-door hardtop coupe and 4-door sedan.

1972 was the last model year for the mid-sized Buick Skylark. For 1972, the base Buick Skylark now used the 350 cubic-inch V-8 with the 2-barrel Rochester carburetor, now putting out 145 horsepower as standard equipment. (A new federally mandated system used to calculate horsepower was put into effect this year and the actual engine performance was probably comparable to the 230 horsepower that was listed for the previous year.) The Skylark 350 now used a version of the same V-8 engine as the base Skylark, but with a 4-barrel Rochester carburetor that generated 170 horsepower.

An interesting limited-production model was the 1972 Buick Skylark 350 Sun Coupe, Skylark 350 Hardtop Coupe which featured a sunroof and vinyl covering over the front portion of the roof.

Skylark Customs were available with the same 350 cubic-inch V-8 engines available in the basic Skylark and the Skylark 350.

For the 1973 model year, the Buick Gran Sports, Skylarks, and Sport Wagons would all be replaced by the new mid-sized Buick Century. Centuries would be available with Gran Sport trim, the Gran Sport name again reduced to being an option package.

2-door hatchback sedan and 2-door sedan models were available as the base Skylark or as the more upscale Skylark S/R. 4-door sedans were available as the base Apollo or the more upscale Apollo S/R. Additionally, there was a very plain, lower-priced Skylark “S” available only as a 2-door sedan with minimal interior and exterior trim.

The standard engine for the Buick Skylarks was Buick’s own 231 cubic-inch-displacement (3.8 liter) V-6 engine with a 2-barrel carburetor creating 110 horsepower @ 4000 rpm. (Buick purchased the dies for the engine back from American Motors which acquired them when they had purchased the Kaiser Jeep division from Kaiser Industries.) The Apollo used Chevrolet’s 250 cubic-inch (4.1 liter) inline 6-cylinder engine.

Optional engines included the Oldsmobile 260 cubic inch (4.3 liter) V-8 engine with a 2-barrel carburetor producing 110 horsepower at 4000 rpm, and the Buick 350 cubic inch (5.7 liter) V-8 engine with either a 2 or 4-barrel carburetor. In 1976 the 5.7 liter V-8 engines produced 140 horsepower @ 3200 rpm with the 2-barrel carburetor and 155 horsepower @ 3400 rpm with the 4-barrel carburetor.

Beginning with the 1976 model year, the 4-door sedans now used the Skylark and Skylark S/R names instead of the previous Apollo and they also now came with the 3.8 liter V-6 engine as standard.

The 260 cubic-inch (4.3 liter) V-8 engine was discontinued after the 1976 model year. For the 1977 model year it was replaced by a pair of V-8 engines.

Available as an option in 1977 was a 301 cubic-inch (5.0 liter) V-8 with a 2-barrel carburetor which produced 135 horsepower @ 4000 rpm supplied by Pontiac.

Also available was a 305 cubic-inch (5.0 liter V-8 with a 2-barrel carburetor which produced 145 horsepower @ 3800 rpm supplied by Chevrolet.

The Buick-built 5.7 liter V-8 was still available, but only with the 4-barrel carburetor.

Beginning with 1978 model year, Chevrolet’s 5.7 liter (350 cubic-inch) V-8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and producing 170 horsepower @ 3800 rpm was also available.

Beginning with the 1978 model year, the Skylark Custom replaced the Skylark S/R. The 1979 model year saw the discontinuance of the Skylark 2-door hatchback coupe.

The base V-6 engine produced 10 more horsepower than 1978’s version. The 1979 model year was short because midway through it, the all-new 1980 models were introduced early.
