1962 buick skylark - lithia springs, gastreetside classicslithia springs, ga 30122ph: 8773671835web: www. The styling is pure '60s jet-age cool, with buick portholes and sharp body lines that make buick's compact look bigger than it is and ties it to its bigger brothers in the showroom. The contrasting code c arctic white hardtop shows an equally brilliant shine, but isn't too harsh, giving it just the right look. Gaps are good all around, and someone spent big on the chrome to get it into its current condition. Even the brushed stainless panel between the taillights is in great shape, a piece that is virtually impossible to restore and unavailable as a reproduction. The compact buick is actually fairly spacious inside, and buick was careful to build-in traditional comfort in the sporty skylark. The materials and patterns look quite authentic, with textured fabric and pink vinyl on the seats and door panels, and slightly darker carpets to help keep it anchored. The instrument panel and all the gauges have been restored, and the factory am radio still works. There's also an auxiliary oil pressure gauge stashed under the dash where nobody will see it but the driver. The trunk looks fairly original, with factory-issued mat, a full-sized spare, and even a wheel protector as it was when new. Buick's 215 cubic inch all-aluminum v8 was an interesting experiment that went on to fame overseas powering a myriad of vehicles for land rover. Making a stout 185 horsepower, it's certainly no slouch in the lightweight skylark, and thanks to its modern aluminum construction, it definitely helps tighten up the handling. The engine bay is tidy, although not detailed for competition, but shows off a lot of correct details like the oversized air cleaner with bright red decals, bellows-type power brake booster, and mini nailhead valve covers. A 3-speed automatic handles gear changes, and the chassis is almost entirely rust-free, particularly the floors which are remarkably well preserved thanks to easy living down south. And for cruising, this one is a breeze with power stee. Cloth Interior
