NCReatta Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Surprised you didn't make a special trip there, Mr. Earl.. considering they had 2 '54s travel over the block.. That Skylark trips my trigger.. However, the price tag does not... :eek: The '59 looks pretty (potentially) sharp.. I'm not a fan of that color though..

bhclark Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 '54 Skylark for $40K?I knew the values had dropped, but that sounds cheap!'59s went for $6K (sedan) and $55K for the lightly modified convertible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 That is one of my favorite Skylarks. Love the color and the stainless wheel well treatments. While it is cool as is, Skylarks rate a full blown 400 point restoration. So basically what the buyer got is a complete solid core, which typically run about 40K.

I can't believe the two slightly more contemporary Buick convertibles sold for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCReatta Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Mr. Earl, I have a challenge for you. Find me a '54 Skylark. I've decided (since I can't have the Landau ), that that car is the '54 I want..Of course, my budget isn't quite in the neighborhood of $40k, but if you find me one cheap, I'll take it.

JCK55buick Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 For the January auction, I noticed they have a '39 Roadmaster Indy pace car phaeton, but if you read the language it never says it really was a pace car, apparently just restored to look like one! There is a picture of the real '39 on pg 56 of Standard Catalog of Buick (3rd ed.), looks like the real car had body color wheels, not red; did not have side mounts; and had Firestone wide whitewalls, not blackwalls like the auction car.Why don't they just say the car for sale at B-J is a tribute or replica? Be honest!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
