The Buick Skylark was a passenger car produced by the Buick division of General Motors.
The model was made in six production runs. In each run, the car design varied
dramatically due to changing technology and tastes, as well as new standards
implemented over the years.
Introduced to mark Buick's 50th anniversary, the Skylark (a name previously used by
short-lived Hupp for its sporty 1939 Cord 810-based Skylark) was one of three specialty
convertibles produced in 1953 by General Motors; the other two were the Oldsmobile
Fiesta and the Cadillac Eldorado. All three were limited-production vehicles promoting
General Motors' design leadership. Of the three, the Skylark had the most successful
production run with 1,690 units. This was considered an amazing sales feat, since the car
had a list price in 1953 of slightly in excess of US$5,000. However, many of these vehicles
languished in dealer showrooms and were eventually sold at discount.
