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 struggling to keep up with Encore demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.
Buick reveals new Verano in Shanghai
Mon, Apr 20 2015The lion's share of the new vehicles being showcased at the Shanghai Motor Show this week may never make their way to US showrooms. But Americans will surely want to note the unveiling of the all-new Buick Verano. The current compact sedan in the Buick lineup arrived in 2011, and is now preparing to enter its second generation with the model you see here. Details are the only element more scarce than photos (GM has released one thus far), but we can see that the new Verano adopts more dynamic styling than the model it replaces. The design borrows elements from the Riviera and Avenir concepts, with a more steeply raked windshield and rear glass said to give the new Verano a more elongated look (and lower drag coefficient) than its compact footprint would dictate. Up front you'll see Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by HID xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and taillamps. Motivation comes courtesy of a 1.5-liter turbocharged Ecotec four, driving 166 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque through a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 17-inch wheels are shod with Continental rubber. Just how many of these specifications will remain relevant when the new Verano reaches Buick dealers on this side of the Pacific remains to be seen, but for now you can delve into the full press release below.

It will be appearing on Shanghai GM's stand at Auto Shanghai 2015, which starts tomorrow. The brand's latest entry in the mid-range passenger car segment has a stylish exterior, class-leading fuel efficiency and precise handling. The Verano is targeted at individuals who value a personal and dynamic driving experience. Design inspired by Buick Riviera and Avenir concept cars The Verano was inspired by the new Buick Riviera concept car, which premiered in 2013, and captures the design essence of the Buick Avenir concept car, which debuted at this year's North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It represents an innovative interpretation of Buick's classic styling while exemplifying the elegance and dynamism of Buick's new-generation products.
2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
