Vehicle Description
A good Buick is premium, distinctive, powerful, and a great value.
That's why this 1971 Buick Skylark Custom convertible is so
appealing.
The Custom trim of the Skylark upholds the premium end of the model
line, and this one does it quite nicely. You see it up front in the
mirror-like shine of the bumper and headlight surrounds. The
profile has good panel fit, and the doors that close with
confidence. And in the rear, few companies could integrate the
chrome bumper into the sheetmetal design better than Buick. This
Custom even has the custom distinction of a billet grille. There's
also a bit of a sporting attitude when you see how the green paint
looks against the tight-fitting black folding roof. And Buick's
Mag-style Rallye wheel package is truly an iconic finishing touch.
But more than just a great package, this one is desirable because
it's rare. These premium Custom convertibles has a price that
rivaled the GS models, and so less than 4,000 were produced in
'71.
Beneath the power folding roof is a dark green interior. The way
the inside and outside colors are so nicely coordinated, it gives
this Skylark a cool seamless appearance with the top down. This is
a highly original interior, and so you can still easily see the
premium treatment of the Custom trim. There's seating for six
total, so there's plenty of room for family and friends. But all
you have to do is fold down the armrest on the front split-bench,
and this Buick offers plenty of individual comfort. In fact, this
is a very driver-oriented setup. The two-spoke factory steering
wheel with wood paneling gives you a clear view at the full dash
with heat/defrost controls and matching green/wood appearance.
The bright Dante Red of Buick's own engine block is something we
all love to see when the hood is open at the car shows. And this
one really looks fantastic with a very clean and correct
presentation, right down to the factory air topper. Plus, while
people are marveling at the full appearance, you get to drive home
the wow-factory by telling everyone this is the car's original V8.
The special Buick motors provide big torque from a small package
and a unique sound that's music to a Buick lover's ears. Out on the
road, this droptop earns its easy cruising reputation with features
like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and
front disc brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, you get rarity, distinction, and
vintage appeal - all in one very affordable package. So if you
don't want to be green with envy, grab this deal today.
