1963 Buick Skylark convertible. The 1963 Skylarks used the same chassis and wheelbase as the previous 1961 and 1962 models, but adopted new sheet metal that featured boxier styling. Length was increased by five inches (130 mm) to 193 in (4,900 mm), and the 215-cubic-inch V8 generated 200 hp (150 kW) at 5,000 rpm.
The 1962 model sold 153,763, including 42,973 Skylarks. [23] The 1963 body was only produced for one year; it sold 148,750 copies, including 42,321 Skylarks. [24] The entire car was redesigned for 1964. After that, the 215 found its way into the Rover P6 3500S in 1968, but was never sold in North America in any great numbers.
1965 Buick Gran Sport. The 1965 Skylark Gran Sport was the intermediate Buick Skylark with the Gran Sport option added. Although a 300 cubic inches (4.9 litres) V8 was already offered in the Skylark, the Gran Sport had the largest engine permitted by GM - a 401 cubic inches (6.6 litres) Buick V8 (called a 400 by Buick because that was the maximum engine size allowed in intermediate body cars).
The GM B platform was introduced in 1926 with the Buick Master Six, and the Oldsmobile Model 30, and had at least 12 major re-engineering and restyling efforts, for the 1937, 1939, 1941, 1949, 1954, 1957, 1959, 1961, 1965, 1971, 1977, and 1991 model years; along with interim styling changes for 1942, 1969, and 1980 that included new sheetmetal and revised rooflines.
Using the new GM A platform (RWD) the Sport Wagon used a 120-inch (3,048 mm) wheelbase, that was 5 inches (127 mm) longer than the other Skylark four-door sedans and coupes. [2] The 1964 to 1967 Sport Wagons had a standard skyroof [ 1 ] that consisted of four tinted glass panels surrounding the elevated section of the roof over the cargo area ...
English: A 1963 Buick Skylark convertible (serie 4367). 1963 was the last year for the 215cid (3.5-litre) alloy V8, here with 200hp in this Flint-built example.
Buick did not get its own personal luxury coupe until the GM intermediates were redesigned in 1973, the so-called "Colonnade" cars that eliminated hardtop models completely. In a curious name swap, the Skylark name was dropped from Buick's intermediate line and instead the Century nameplate, last used in the 1950s, was revived for them. [6]
1975–1979 Buick Skylark; 1975–1982 Oldsmobile Cutlass; 1978–1981 Chevrolet Camaro; 1978–1987 Chevrolet El Camino; 1978–1983 Chevrolet Malibu Both the 229 cu in (3.8 L) engine used in the Malibu starting in 1980 and the 200 cu in (3.3 L) version first used in 1978 were NOT versions of the Buick 3800 Engine, but a different Chevy-built ...
