Both the 1953 and 1954 Buick Skylark have earned a place in
automotive history as some of the most dramatically styled
production cars of their time. Unlike the previous Skylark, the
1954 Skylark convertible was based on the Series 60 Century
platform rather than the Roadmaster. The 1954 Century and Skylark
both used the same 122-inch wheelbase chassis as well. The
professionally restored chassis of this Skylark is finished in
gloss black. What separated the Skylark from the Special was the
322 CI Nailhead OHV V-8 engine producing 200 HP at 4,100 RPM. This
Skylark has a detailed engine compartment. A Dynaflow automatic
transmission puts power to the rear wheels. The body of the 1954
Skylark was based on the Century, but a new radically tapered rear
deck was grafted to it. The new rear deck features large
chrome-plated fins with straight horizontal lines at their top
edges. The rear quarters have wide arched wheel openings that
include the iconic red-painted inner wells. Although the top body
line is straighter than in 1953, the bright lower-body molding
drops down dramatically toward the lower front of the wheel
opening. The front fenders are specific to the Skylark and have
wide arched wheel openings like the rear, also with red-painted
inner wells.
