In spite of notable exceptions such as the slick Studebaker Golden Hawk and Continental Mark II, the Fabulous Fifties were the age of the glorious tail fin and the chromed, toothy grille.
No car personifies this period with more style and grace than the 1953 Buick Skylark. This limited-edition and largely custom-tailored version of Buick's top-line Roadmaster convertible was created to celebrate the automaker's first half-century and reinforce GM's styling and design leadership.
The Skylark's smooth flanks and upswept rear fenders evoke the legendary 1938 Buick Y-Job, the first concept car in history. It was Buick and GM at their classic best.
