Beautiful Buick! 😍 1953 Buick Skylark

This 1953 Buick Skylark is a beautiful 50s cruiser with gorgeous lines and fantastic options! In 1953, Buick celebrated its 50th Anniversary. In celebration of its Golden Anniversary, Buick debuted what was perhaps the finest vehicles the GM marque ever produced up until that point, the Buick Skylark. While the Skylark made its official debut in 1953, its genesis dated back a couple years earlier when it was one of the "Dream Car" convertible prototypes seen at the Motorama and the national show circuit. Those familar with the GM Dream Cars know that the collection was made up of the Chevrolet Corvette and the trifecta of the Cadillac Eldorado, the Oldsmobile Fiesta, and the Buick Skylark. Buick's Dream Car, the Skylark, was built on its Roadmaster chassis but featured a brand new style both inside and out. In total, Buick produced a mere 1,690 1953 Skylarks which with its $5,000 original MSRP price tag made it one of the rarest '53 Buicks. This particular example comes to us from a southern museum collection where it spent its most recent years following its frame off restoration. It's powered by a 322 "Nailhead" Fireball V8 engine with a single 4 barrel carburetor and automatic transmission. It's loaded with options, like power steering, power brakes, dual outside mirrors and a white vinyl power convertible top. When the top is in the down position, it tucks neatly below the color-matched boot tonneau cover. Riding on a set of wide whitewall bias-ply tires mounted on chrome wire wheels with knock-off spinner hubcaps, this '53 Skylark has a truly classy look. The gorgeous body has been refinished in a beautiful Matador Red paint that completes the exterior look. The interior is truly upscale! The front and rear bench seats have been correctly reupholstered in a beautiful two-tone color scheme consisting of Red and White leather. The red carpeting, door panels, dash, and steering wheel are all in wonderful condition and all appear to retain a nice stock appearance. The interior is also loaded with creature comforts seldom seen in early 50s automobiles like a power adjustable front leather bench seat. You won't be cranking the front and rear windows up and down since all four are power windows. The instrument cluster is outfitted with a 120 MPH speedometer, temperature gauge, generator gauge, oil pressure gauge, and fuel gauge. The dash is finished off with climate and lighting controls, a cigar lighter, clock, Sonomatic AM radio, and a locking glovebox. Whether you're buying your very first classic car or you're adding to an existing collection of GM cruisers, this 1953 Buick Skylark Convertible would make an excellent choice.

Старые американские машины очень красивые, их делали инженеры, а сегодня менеджеры ...
Красивая машина, как олицетворение того замечательного времени, когда мы были молоды ...
