1969 Buick Skylark Convertible

Description

Classic Buicks always are attractive, and this 1969 Buick Skylark Convertible maximizes it with a triple-black style and drop-top appeal. It makes for an impressive cruiser offered for an affordable price.

This wasn't a factory black car, and you certainly know that the finish has been updated because no 1960s machine could still have this level of gloss and shine today. The dark grille, half-chrome headlights, dual exhaust tips, and Buick' Rallye wheels give this a touch of Grand Sport style. And while this kind of package is meant to look mean, this one also gives the right premium impression. It's in the details like the way the form-hugging bumpers shine, and there's a nice full-length red and white pinstripe. And all the panels fit together with a quality appearance. It makes for a distinctive car you'll want to drive.

The black folding roof is a new quality piece that features a glass rear window, and when you take it down, there's even a proper vinyl boot to cover it. And because this reveals the black interior, you have the ultra-desirable triple-black package (paint, top, and inside.). There's a nice classic style there. You'll even appreciate the little details, like the working AM radio and courtesy lights. But the true appeal here is how nice of a cruiser this is. You have plenty of room for family and friends. This is also a quality driver with features like the front bucket seats, the cool/classic Buick steering wheel, and an auxiliary gauge trio installed under the dash.

When you lift the hood, the red engine block is still peeking out in this very honest engine bay. It lets people know this is a true Buick powerhouse. Buick's own 350 cubic inch V8 provides big torque from a small package, so it's great to have a correct-style powerplant. Out on the road, this Skylark feels great with features like the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and modern radial tires.

This is a clean and sleek car that has a mean style but an easy overall cruiser feeling. That means you can enjoy it right now as it is or you may even think about this as the base for a full muscle car makeover. It makes for a fun drop-top with plenty of appeal and a ton of potential. So if you want a triple-black Buick, call today!
