Frequently Asked Questions about the Buick Skylark

Buick first used the Skylark name in 1953, on a limited-production convertible based on the Roadmaster and built to mark the division's 50th anniversary. Production for 1953 totaled 1,690 cars. The 1954 Skylark moved to the Century chassis, and the model was dropped after that year. The name was not used again until the 1961 model year.
The 1953 Buick Skylark was a factory-customized Roadmaster convertible with a chopped windshield and no ventiports, the front-fender portholes that other Buicks carried. It originated with a custom convertible design by Buick stylist Ned Nickles. Power came from Buick's new 322-cubic-inch V8, rated at 188 horsepower in the Skylark.
The Skylark name returned partway through the 1961 model year on the Special Skylark, a two-door Sport Coupe version of Buick's compact Special with plusher trim and a 185-horsepower four-barrel V8. For 1962 the Skylark became a model in its own right, offered as a two-door hardtop and a convertible. These compact cars rode a 112-inch wheelbase.
The 1961-1963 Buick Skylark used Buick's 215-cubic-inch aluminum V8, an engine with a quoted weight of 318 pounds. In four-barrel Skylark form it was rated at 185 horsepower for 1961, 190 for 1962 and 200 for 1963. Buick dropped the aluminum V8 when its compacts grew into intermediates for 1964, and Rover of Great Britain later acquired the rights to it.
The Buick Skylark became a midsize car for the 1964 model year, when it moved with the Special to GM's new A-body intermediate platform on a 115-inch wheelbase. A cast-iron V6 became the standard engine and a new 300-cubic-inch V8 was optional, in place of the aluminum V8. The 115-inch wheelbase lasted through 1967.
For 1968 the Buick Skylark was redesigned on two wheelbases, 112 inches for two-door models and 116 inches for four-doors. A Chevrolet 250-cubic-inch inline six replaced the Buick V6 as the base engine, and a new 350-cubic-inch V8 was developed from the earlier 340. The Special name was dropped after 1969, the body was restyled for 1970, and this generation ran through 1972.
The Buick GSX was an appearance, performance and handling package introduced during the 1970 model year for the GS 455, the Skylark-based muscle car. Buick built 678 for 1970, offered only in Saturn Yellow or Apollo White, and 400 of them had the optional Stage 1 engine. The standard 455-cubic-inch V8 was rated at 350 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.
Buick built its last Skylark for the 1998 model year, when a single sedan was sold only to fleets, 1997 being the final year for retail buyers. The midsize Skylark had ended much earlier, after 1972, when the Century replaced it for 1973. The name returned in 1975 on the two-door versions of Buick's compact X-body cars and moved to front-wheel drive in 1980.
The 22 Buick Skylark listings on Classic Cars Arena right now are priced from $5,100 to $249,995, with a median asking price of $28,249. These are the prices sellers are asking today, not sale prices, and the figures change as cars are listed and sold.
