Primered Roller Sedan: 1960 Buick Invicta

When Buick redesigned its cars in 1959, the Invicta was added as a bridge between the LeSabre and Electra models. It held that position until the Wildcat took over that spot four years later. The seller’s 1960 Invicta is… more»

8k-Mile Survivor: 1987 Buick Regal Turbo-T

In the 1980s, Buick produced several turbo-charged versions of its mid-size Regal sport coupe. The most well-known was the Grand National, built in 1982 and again from 1984 to 1987. One of the rarest was the Turbo-T, offered only… more»

No Reserve: 1963 Buick Riviera

I have, at times, been described as an automotive elitist or a snob because I have stated that I prefer my classics original and unmolested. However, I have also never hidden the fact that I love Hot Rods and… more»

’80s Muscle Survivor: 1987 Buick Grand National

Buick changed the automotive landscape with the Grand National. It demonstrated that a genuine muscle car didn’t need a V8 under the hood to provide exhilarating performance. This 1987 example is no exception, and the first owner’s decision to… more»

Nailhead V8 Project: 1956 Buick Special Riviera

Whenever I hear about a Riviera, more often than not, my mind immediately thinks of those cool personal luxury cars that Buick produced beginning in 1963.  However, although it wasn’t a stand-alone model, a previous offering bearing the same… more»

55k-Mile 1985 Buick Riviera T-Type

The sixth-generation Riviera, the first to feature front-wheel-drive, was a huge hit. Produced from 1979 to 1985, sales were remarkably steady, with the last of them (the 1985 model) outselling its predecessors…all of them, going back to 1963. The… more»

Survivor Sedan: 1969 Buick Skylark Custom

Twilight Blue is a great color for this 1969 Buick Skylark Custom four-door sedan, it’s positively regal (cough). It’s not a coveted two-door hardtop, convertible, or even a four-door hardtop sedan, but the regular (post) four-door sedan was what… more»

1 of 832 Project: 1969 Buick GS Stage I

Muscle cars were all the rage in 1969, especially with mid-size automobiles. Over at General Motors, you had the Pontiac GTO, Chevy Chevelle SS, Oldsmobile 442, and Buick’s Gran Sport (or GS). The GS was the most opulent of… more»

Stunning Restoration: 1940 Buick Eight Two-Door

Sorry, I had to dip into the ’40s again. You’d think these vehicles would attract value-seekers at some point, despite the less-than-sporty driving experience. This 1940 Buick Eight two-door is offered here on eBay for $14,500; it comes out… more»

Running Barn Find: 1968 Buick Skylark Custom

From 1964 to 1972, the Skylark would serve as Buick’s primary mid-size car, on par with Chevrolet’s Chevelle Malibu. These cars were redesigned in 1968 and had perhaps the most “dominant” styling of that era of GM’s intermediates. This… more»

First Year Riviera Hardtop? 1950 Buick Super

It took a while for me to make the historical connection to Buick’s Riviera name. While most know it as a luxury coupe introduced in 1964, the name dates to the 1950 model when it appeared on Roadmaster and… more»

Recently Restored: 1965 Buick Skylark Convertible

With summer fast approaching, many enthusiasts think of hitting the road behind the wheel of a classic Convertible to savor all that Mother Nature offers. Barn Finds writer Russell Glantz must harbor the same desires, spotting this beautiful 1965… more»

32K Mile Roadster: 1990 Buick Reatta

The Buick Reatta is one of those vehicles you get somewhat accustomed to seeing come up for sale, but when you spot a really nice one, it still stops you in your tracks. Buick’s short-lived roadster was a fascinating… more»

Top Down Cruiser: 1972 Buick Skylark Custom

The era of General Motors’ mid-size cars from 1968 to 1972 was quite popular. And Buick’s entry in that group, the Skylark, may have been the most attractive of them (IMO). This 1972 Skylark Custom convertible looks stunning and… more»

Dignified Survivor: 1967 Buick Wildcat

For the longest time, I believed Buick’s full-size hotrod, known as the Wildcat, was a two-door-only model. Well, today’s review of a spectacular 1967 four-door sedan disabused me of that notion. I’d place this Anoka, Minnesota domiciled example in… more»

Mellow Yellow? 1969 Buick Skylark Convertible

One of the interesting things that I have noted regarding GM’s A-body lineup for ’69 is that the Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu, Pontiac Tempest/LeMans, and Oldsmobile F85/Cutlass all followed a similar Fisher Body vibe in terms of overall design. The C-pillars… more»
