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!

Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores
Wed, 05 Jun 2013After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
