1954 Buick - the Beautiful Buy

1954 Buick – Tomorrow is here

You see it – in those lines of the 1954 Buick that nestle lower to the roadway, that thrust further forward and aft, that rival those of an arrow in their functional fitness.

You sense it – in the vastly broadened vision of its panoramic windshield, in such interior innovations as its airplane-type controls, linear speedometer, and high-air intake ventilation.

But most of all, you feel it – in the surge of new­found power that takes it from your toe when you want to go in a way that exceeds even the engineers’ early expectations. “Sensational,” you’ll say and without exaggeration, when you sample the step-up in power you get from that great V8 that’s in every 1954 Buick.

You’ve had hints before that Buick was setting patterns for the future – in its development of Twin-Turbine Dynaflow Drive, the Million Dollar Hide, the world’s first vertical-valve V8. You know Buick has done it now in everything ­ in style, in ride, in comfort, in performance. See these provocative new 1954 Buicks models. Drive them. You’ll agree, “tomorrow is here.”

1954 Buick Skylark Convertible

The 1954 Buick Skylark is an individual and distinguished model designed distinctly for the limited number of motorists who want literally “everything” in a motorcar of exclusive design. The Skylark fulfills this purpose in beautiful fashion.

It is daringly different in both exterior and interior styling; front and rear fenders, rear deck, body trim and interior upholstery are all exclusively designed for this single model. It has the dose-coupled lines and dimensions of a sports car-yet is equipped, at one list price, with every special feature that could be desired in the finest of custom-built cars.

The brilliance of its big 200-horsepower Buick V8 performance is combined dramatically with the compact maneuverability of its balanced 122″ wheelbase, for exceptional power-to-weight ratio. And the many “tomorrow” features first seen in the experimental Wildcat, mark the Skylark as the Buick for those with a zest for the finest in spirited sports cars.
