GMs legendary traveling Motorama shows of the 1950s featured dazzling displays of the latest design and engineering breakthroughs and encouraged each of the companys divisions to showcase them to the public. Buicks radical XP-300 Motorama concept car led to the highly modified, Roadmaster-based Skylark Anniversary Convertible for 1953 with new OHV V-8 power. The Skylark returned for 1954, now based on the slightly shorter Century chassis with more power. Essentially a factory-built custom car, the lavishly equipped, the 1954 Skylark was priced from nearly $4,500 more expensive than both the Cadillac Series 62 drop-top and Roadmaster convertible. Just 836 Skylarks were produced for 54, with each survivor in high demand today.

Formerly part of the Ed Meurer collection, this 1954 Buick Skylark is an older restoration in an unusual color combination of Tan paint over two-tone Tan and Dark Brown upholstery with a Tan convertible top. A recent test drive confirms the Skylark is a good driver-quality car that starts, runs and stops well. Features include Buicks famed 322-CI Nailhead V-8 engine, automatic transmission, power brakes and steering, plus a power-assisted front seat, windows and convertible top. Other desirable items include a clock, radio and period style drivers side spotlight. Offering the option to preserve and enjoy  or providing the basis for complete restoration, this 1954 Buick Skylark is a rare and important part of the rich GM legacy.
