This 1954 Buick Skylark convertible is one of 836 examples produced for the model year and is powered by a 322ci “Fireball” V8 paired with a Twin-Turbine Dynaflow automatic transmission.
Equipped are power windows, four-wheel power brakes, a Selectronic AM radio, and Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels.
Under the hood is a 322ci V8 that was rebuilt, factory-rated output was 200 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque, which is sent rearward by a Twin-Turbine Dynaflow automatic transmission.
The limited-production Skylark made its second and final appearance for 1954, having been introduced one year earlier at the GM Motorama to commemorate Buick’s 50th anniversary.
Like the original, the 1954 model featured a wrap-around front windshield, cutout wheel wells and side spear trim, and unique chromed rear tailfins inspired by the Wildcat show car.
Paired with a powered dark blue soft top, the refinished blue paintwork on this example.
For 1954, the Skylark shared its chassis with the Century rather than that of the Roadmaster, resulting in a reduced wheelbase compared to the 1953 model.
Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels are equipped with two-bladed spinners and wear wide-whitewall tires.
The two-tone leather interior features leather seating surfaces with a die-stamped and embossed square-block pattern.
Amenities include powered windows, a Selectronic AM radio, and powered antenna.
Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer and a multi-function gauge for temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level.
The 5-digit odometer shows approximately 97k miles.
