Mark, The 54 Skylark was built on the smaller Special/Century chassis while the 53 was built on the Super/Roadmaster chassis.

The only thing I really don't like is the tacked on tail lights. They just don't seem to be part of the design element of the car, just tacked on. Other than that I like the rest of the car.

After this posting its going to the dungeon with his brothers.

I can see where this is headed. So after this posting I'll just refrain from posting pics of this car. I questioned myself about posting pics of this car here knowing how it is always received. I wish I had listened to myself.

BTW...I like the car. Painted coves, tacked on tail lights and all.

Larry, not at all! Look at the conversation and participation that this car has sparked.

It would seem that "dungeon" cars do generate a lot of interest albeit not all favorative. Even still, I think all participation, postive or negative is a good thing.

DM has to make it back to do this one. I also want a '54 Century hardtop because

I like the stock tail lights better than these big glitzy tack-ons.

I've always liked the grille and headlights of '54 Buicks.

I think the 1954 Buick Skylark is the single best design of all Skylarks. I want one!

Thank You for posting it Larry and everytime in the future you post it that is fine with me, comming from a Packard Nut. You can of course mix in all the Packards you want and NOT - Miss!
