For Fan Car Friday this week we bring you Al and his beautiful ’71 Buick Skylark Custom. Fan Car Friday is a segment where we want to share with the world the automobiles that our fans have. We have absolutely no affiliation/relationship with the cars, the build or the owners. This post was made with written consent from the owner.
“I have been to FantomWorks for the tour last year. Really like the work you all get done there.
My car is a 71 Buick Custom Skylark convertible with 42900 original miles.
It was repainted 12 yrs ago along with new top. Interior and all chrome original. The original motor/ trans was freshened with a mild cam. Car has cold a/c, p/b,p/s,p/w and tilt.
Not a show car but solid , dependable driver w/very minimal rust repaired.“
The Buick Skylark is a passenger car produced by Buick. The model was made in six production runs, during 46 years, over which the car’s design varied dramatically due to changing technology, tastes and new standards implemented over the years.
For the 1971 model year, the base Skylark was available only with the inline-6, now only putting out 145 hp (108 kW) due to emission control devices, but in a two-door hardtop coupe body-style (in addition to the previous two- and four-door sedans). The Skylark 350 had a V8 engine that put out only 230 hp (170 kW). It was now available as a two-door sedan in addition to the previous two-door hardtop coupe and four-door sedan.

Al, congratulations on owning one of the best looking Buick Skylarks I’ve seen! In my opinion, the wheel openings, front and rear, on the 1970 – 1972 Skylarks are beautiful, especially when the car is equipped with the Buick road wheels (I believe they’re called). Best of luck to you.
