General Motors Motorama Dream Car. The Skylark was designed by General Motors Designer Ned Nickles, the project started as a personal project to customize his 1951 Roadmaster. However one day Nickles’ boss Ivan Wiles saw the drawings and liked the idea so much it was built as a show car. It was added to the Motorama line up for 1953 which included The Cadillac Eldorado, Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Fiesta and Chevrolet Corvette. This Skylark is an exceptional original automobile with preservation work where necessary. The Skylark was built to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of Buick. A special automobile by design Buick would only produce 1,690 examples. The original cost of this Skylark when new was a staggering $5,562.78. It was purchased by Mr. A.C.
