giving a radical image to a factory car. The Skylark was based on the

Roadmaster and featured a windshield trimmed by 4 inches. a lowered beltline.

chrome Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels and rounded rear-wheel arches. The hood was

without the famous portholes. and the interior saw many adjustments to

accommodate the new styling such as a shortened and lowered steering column.

sticker prices the Skylark commanded about $5. 00. and was the best-selling

of the three. largely in part to holding the lowest price—the Oldsmobile was

about $5. 00. and the Cadillac commanded a stratospheric $7. 00. In addition

to the specialized styling and construction methods. the Buick boasted a new

12-volt electrical system and new 322 CI Fireball V-8 engine. ushering out

the aging but still popular Buick Straight Eight engine. The Twin-Dynaflow

automatic transmission offered improved performance over the Dynaflow. and

was standard issue in Skylark. After celebrating 50 years of Buick in the

1953 model year. the Skylark continued the party in 1954. but only 836

Skylark Convertibles were produced that year. This 1954 Skylark Convertible
