1954 Buick Skylark Model 100
One Owner! Body # 59 of 836
There are lots of 54 Buicks out there, but only a handful of 54 Skylarks!
This car is unrestored and has non-original paint and interior, although almost all of the original equipment and hardware is still there! It was a daily driver until the late 70's. It has been stored for over 30 years inside a building.
Car was originally Malibu blue with two tone blue interior
It was customized in the late 50's and early 60's, which consisted of changing paint color from Malibu Blue to Black and then to the Silver Metallic that it is today.
The interior was completely reupholstered in Black Naughahyde in a tufted biscuit design and the original hydraulic 4 way seat track was changed to an electric 6 way track out of 54 or 55 Buick large body. It has new black Daytona carpet.
It has V8 322 ci "Nailhead" engine with 4 barrel carburetor that is strong! No smoke! There is 127k original miles on chassis. The engine was changed in 1963 when the original engine threw a rod through the block, destroying that engine. It was replaced with an identical engine from 1954 or 1955 Buick. It is coupled with a twin turbine Dynaflow transmission.
All original chrome and LOTS of it! Most of the chrome is in excellent shape. An unusual thing is that this car came with chrome wheel wells. Usually they were painted a contrasting color!
Body, fenders and trim are solid, but chrome on the bumpers took a hit and will need some love. There is some surface rust underneath from sitting, but nothing serious. It has never been undercoated. Floors are solid and under seat heater works!
Hydraulics need work. Units are 60 years old and haven't been used much in last 30 years and should be replaced!
It has 5 original Kelsey-Hayes spoke rims. Tires are in good shape, but are old.
This was the top of the line, and most expensive to date, "Premier" Buick in 1954! The flagship of Buicks' line of automobiles for 1954!
With a modest investment, this car could be real head turning daily driver as is! With just a little more it could be a unique show car in very exclusive circles!
Just try to remember the last time you saw one!
Car is licensed and insured with clear title and pink slip in hand!
Buyer is responsible for shipping and transportation

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?
Question of the Day: Best recipient for supercharged GM V6?
Wed, Apr 20 2016The good old Buick V6 engine was built from 1961 through 2008 (including a decade of production by Kaiser-Jeep) and went into way too many General Motors vehicles to list here. In 1991, the supercharged version of the 3800 was introduced, with a Roots-style Eaton blower on top, and now you can find these engines in just about every junkyard in North America. The 3800 shares a bellhousing pattern with the also-made-by-the-zillions GM 60° V6 engine, which means that it will install (with varying levels of sledgehammer clearancing and/or axle mix-and-matching) into plenty of GM vehicles that never received the 3800 from the factory. That means one thing: engine swaps! An excellent example of this is the 1992 Chevrolet Lumina APV "Dustbuster" minivan, which is a fully caged high-performance road-racing machine that features a supercharged 3800 and 5-speed manual transmission under its long, vacuum-cleaner-snout-like hood. The RaceVan, in Springfield Monorail livery, will compete this weekend at the Michigan 24 Hours of LeMons race with Autobloggers Mike Austin, David Gluckman, and Alex Kierstein at the wheel. My personal choice for supercharged 3800 power, though, has to be the Cadillac Cimarron, preferably the not-so-sought-after Cimarron d'Oro Edition. Some bashing and welding and cutting and pasting and this lightweight Cavalier sibling could have well over double its original horsepower. So, what's your blown 3800 engine-swap choice?
