One of my automobile softcover books containing vintage car advertisements has this very well done color print advertisement for then then-new mid-size Buick Skylark. In ensuing years it would develop into even more than just this modest start .....

The 63 was a cool little car! Neat ad!

Thanks ! It sure would make a nice replica in any scale. Did this one also use the all-aluminium General Motors V-8 that was later sold to (I believe) Rover for use in their automobiles overseas ?

I love seeing these images - they tell us so much about the dreams and aspirations of the times.

From the angle that photo was taken, the '63 Skylark really looks like a 7/8 scale LeSabre of that same year.
Good one, Mike!

You're welcome, John ! There were some very classy advertisements from the past.
(of course, in my view, they actually usually had something cool to advertise ! 
)
