1962 Buick Skylark Convertible

The 1962 Buick Skylark arrived at a pivotal moment in American automotive history, defining a new segment that prioritized sophistication over sheer size. As the top-trim version of the Special, the Skylark brought traditional Buick luxury--plush interiors, bright trim, and a silent ride--into a more manageable, compact footprint. It was a car for the discerning buyer who wanted the prestige of a Tri-Shield badge without the imposing dimensions of an Electra or Invicta. With its clean lines, sculpted sides, and purposeful stance, the '62 Skylark exudes a mid-century elegance that is both understated and undeniably premium. The cocktail gets more potent when you examine the engineering, which was remarkably advanced for its time. Under the hood sits the original 215-cubic-inch V-8.
