A 1954 Buick Skylark convertible and a custom 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
hardtop represent the collection’s classic American offerings. The Skylark was
the recipient of a professional frame-off nut-and-bolt restoration that led to
it winning Best in Class awards at several Concours d’Elegance events. One
of 836 examples built for the 1954 model year, this Buick is powered by its
matching-numbers 322ci Fireball V8 engine mated to a Dynaflow automatic
transmission. Factory equipment includes power steering, power drum
brakes, OEM Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels (including spare), power windows
and seats, power top, power antenna and an AM radio. Finished in Arctic
White with red wheel wells and sporting a black convertible top over a red
leather interior, this Skylark is sure to turn some heads.
The beautiful two-tone turquoise and white Chevrolet Bel Air was also the
recipient of a frame-off restoration. Under the hood is its original rebuilt
265ci V8 engine with 4-barrel carburetor, mated to a rebuilt 3-speed
automatic transmission. This Bel Air has been upgraded with a Vintage Air
system, 4-wheel power disc brakes and a dual-reservoir master cylinder.
