Production dream car, 1952 Buick Skylark - Old Cars Weekly Newsletter

Old Cars has everything for the vintage car enthusiast

Production Dream Car: 1953 Buick Skylark A Buick press release said the Skylark would be put into production if there was enough interest shown in it. In reality, though, it was already scheduled for production. The model was announced in October 1952 and production commenced the following January. Deliveries to dealers began some weeks later. Along with the limited-production Oldsmobile Fiesta, Cadillac Eldorado and Chevrolet Corvette convertibles, the Skylark was the focus of its General Motors division's display at the 1953 GM Motorama. These convertibles were show cars that people could actually take home, unlike the exotic dream cars also on display at the Motorama.

See More 10 questions with the ATHS Don't call the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS, www.aths.org) a club — it's much more than that. The organization was founded in 1971 to "preserve the history of trucks, the trucking industry and its pioneers," states the society. Sure, it also has a giant annual national convention where thousands of members gather around 1,000 big trucks, plus many chapter meets, proving the society enjoys camaraderie as much as any other vehicle organization. However, the ATHS is deeply focused on preserving trucks and trucking history by more than in-person meetings. It also boasts a library in Kansas City, Mo., filled with literature, technical manuals, books, contemporary journals, photographs and other artifacts of the trucking industry. We sat down with ATHS Executive Director John Gravley to learn more about the organization he represents and what it's doing to continue its mission of preserving trucking history.
