PICS: Look what I received yesterday! DM's 53 Buick Skylark (non-production) model. It's an absolute beauty without the continental kit. Looks great next to my other three convertibles and my two wood-wagons DM gave us for '53.

Hey Tony, I have you to thank. It was you who sent me an email with the eBay link to order.

Let me ask...... aside from no Conti kit, no up top included, tonneau being permanently affixed
Is this model identical to the LE version in every other aspect ??

The LE has a split front seat as well.

Phil, to my eyes, this red Buick WITHOUT the Butt Wart is as beautiful as the original reef blue and mandarin red versions, and also with the red LE that has the wart.
I'd like to have tops for all of them, but if I have to choose between tops or the butt wart, the latter is a must get rid of.

One of my favorites George. Have that one and all the DM '53 Buicks.

I almost had the blue one. But I did have the 1/18th by Motor Max I think it was. It was pretty nice

Nice one George. I've got the blue one and the maroon one. I'll keep an eye out for a red one.
