The 1954 Buick Skylark was a distinct series in its own right, combining the Special/Century's 122-inch wheelbase chassis with the more powerful Roadmaster engine. One of only 836 built, this example is finished in factory Lido Green with a matching two-tone waffled interior and chrome Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels. Comprehensively restored during prior ownership to AACA Junior National First prize standard, it subsequently joined the Andrews Collection, where it has been carefully maintained.
