Car of the Month
1954 Buick Skylark Convertible
General Motor’s first head of design was the now-renowned Harley Earl who is credited for creating the first use of tail fins on the 1948 Cadillac. Earl would go on to spearhead the design of the Buick Skylark, which was chosen by GM to celebrate Buick’s 50th anniversary as an automobile manufacturer.
