This brings back memories, my dad ordered his brand new 1953 Buick Skylark at the Montreal auto show with his name engraved in the steering wheel, my mom told me it cost around 10k including financing. It was like riding on a cloud.
10k$ ??, the Canadian dollar at that time was on par with the US dollar and in the 50's, a house in California cost ~5k$ so a 10K$ 1953 Skylark ? -- not likely. Of course now it is worth a bunch..
@@MrGGPRI My mother told me that years later, and she did say it was "almost" 10k including financing, I'm guessing she was thinking in the context of the current time. You're right, I just cheque and it sold new for $5k and they say GM lost money on every sale. I was 10 in 1954 and even though we didn't have the car that long my memories are vivid of my brothers and I washing it and polishing those chrome spokes one by one. My dad went bankrupt in 1954 and lost everything but the Skylark, which he sold using the money to start a new business, which I purchased in 1976 and it kept me going until last year when I shut it down and retired at 79 so the skylark turned out to indirectly be a good investment for us after all.
What a great video. Loved the history. Loved all the detail you put into the video. You can really tell when you are having fun in the video and it really brightens up the shots. Keep it up !
I don't understand why in the world the owner actually wants to get rid of this outrageously breathtaking car! Why would he not want to keep this forever???
But, coach might have greedy children that would not appreciate this beauty. I have a 1967 Mustang, but it’s in the will as to who gets it. I don’t think this child has any unmolested areas!
Because the car's value has been in six figures for more than thirty years! The pleasure of owning one is significant enough for some, but I too would probably have kept it.
Fantastic lines, just perfect. The car is quite wonderful too, but somehow I had trouble just watching what has to be one of the prettiest cars ever...
WOW just WOW i am in the uk and i love classics including amarican classics and its a joy to see a young lady who knows her stuff fantastic work Mary Ann
1:58 "Umm, look at the emblem. I mean, just beautiful. You can see it's like a mirror". She's probably speaking from experience here. I bet she kept checking her hair and makeup in the chrome on this car. The chrome was awesome.
That "emblem" on the hood is called a hood ornament.The top "cover" is a "boot" luv. The hood ornament was something that was distinctly unique to cars at one time. It's a beautiful car. Just needs a shot of silicon grease on the hood hinges and it'd be a good idea to hit the door and trunk hinges too. Can you put anymore make-up on Maryann? ✌🏻😉
My father had a friend who bought one upon returning from the Korean War and kept it until his death in 2009; his widow gave the car that he promised me away!
Interestingly,my Father had a 1953 // DYNAFLOW Buick : yellow/ Black. Colors: at least for a few years , getting rid of it approx 1960( for a 1959 Dodge Station Wagon) .. I Do remember a few people mentioned the 53 Buick we had was a quality car...I had no car interest in those days .........
everything was beautiful, the car the girl and the information. why people making comments have to be ugly is beyond me. Maryanne, haters are jealous. ignore them. you did a great job. hang in there girl.
The Rain Main Car. Timeless beauty. .. I need to get a gig like this. I'm a decent photgrpaher/videogrhaper in search of an attractive lady to do reviews. I mean what woman doesn't want her own personal photographer ? LOL
No do not floor the gas pedal when starting. When car is cold push gas pedal all the way down once or twice. Turn ignition key straight up. Then push gas pedal down until starter kicks in and release after engine starts.
Gorgeous car!!! BUT get RID of that “sexpot” skinny legged blonde! I don’t want to see her, but that fine looking cat!!! She “prancesses” around like the video is all about her!!! Get RID of her please!

THE SKYLARK WAS ON THE ROADMASTER CHASIS AND ENGINE.BUT WAS NOT REFERRED TO AS A ROADMASTER. IT WAS JUST SKYLARK AND IN 54 BECAME ITS OWN LINE. BUT WAS CANCELLED AFTER 54. IT COST 50% MORE THAN A ROADMASTER CONV. AT $5,000.00 THE SKYLARK WAS A CUSTOM BODIED CONV. BUILT BY BUICK AT THE GM CUSTOM SHOP. IT CAME OFF THE LINE AS A REG ROADMASTER CONV THEN SENT TO THE CUSTOM SHOP. WERE THEY CHOPPED THE TOP AND RESHAPED THE DOORS. PUT WIRE WHEELS ON IT AND CUSTOM INTERIOR WITH CONTRASTING PIPING ON THE SEATS.
If she or Autohaus staff had a few brain cells, they could have said it was lowered from the factory and the first year. How about doing a bit more research? And really Maryann, you couldn't put you hair behind your ear? The constant adjusting was distracting from a gorgeous ride.
WHY do these "car videos" give you ALL the intimate details of the vehicle, i.e. "...here's the windshield washer fluid jar, ...here's the rear seat passenger ash tray, ",, etc. etc. etc. that is, everything you want to know, and most of the s--t you couldn't care less about, EXCEPT the PRICE ??!!?? HOW MUCH IS IT, for Chrissakes !!??!!
...Nice car and presentation and presenter... But why not have perfect English also, and I'm talking about adverbs here- The spiel should read " ... runs smoothLY and the automatic transmission shifts flawlessLY. " Just sayin', y'all. ;-)
..."The 322 ci V8 fireball engine runs smooth and the automatic transmission shifts flawless"... ...transmission is a Dynaflow...it doesn't shift...spokesmodel is a little goofy...looks like her make up was done by a mortician...beautiful car...I'd love to own it...unfortunately...I am poor...
If you want to change your fortunes just try to see the best in everything and stay away from petty criticisms. Classy people only want to be around positive people. Life is more pleasant that way and time is precious.

Thanks a lot
Car ? What car ? 😂😂😂❤❤
WHAT A GORGEOUS CAR. i HAVE NEVER SEEN this particular beauty before
The days before seat belts.
Wow! Shes beautiful! And so is the car.😁
This brings back memories, my dad ordered his brand new 1953 Buick Skylark at the Montreal auto show with his name engraved in the steering wheel, my mom told me it cost around 10k including financing. It was like riding on a cloud.

Gorgeous car. I think the Roadmaster version of the Skylark is clearly the best.
What a great video. Loved the history. Loved all the detail you put into the video. You can really tell when you are having fun in the video and it really brightens up the shots. Keep it up !
Mary Ann really excited to see it !!!
I don't understand why in the world the owner actually wants to get rid of this outrageously breathtaking car! Why would he not want to keep this forever???
Agree. I'd keep it until I die.
But, coach might have greedy children that would not appreciate this beauty. I have a 1967 Mustang, but it’s in the will as to who gets it. I don’t think this child has any unmolested areas!

@@HenauderTitzauf - That last sentence is strange. I assume the child is the Mustang. And it hasn’t been molested. But who knows these days.
Because my dad mike ditka doesn’t drive it as often because he has someone to drive him around my dad is great at so many things
super luxury car

GREAT VIDEO MARYANN!!!! SHE IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL BUICK!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Stunning headlights. I like the car, too!
I had a 53 Buick 4 Dr loved it , this car is beautiful, thanks for the look, needs WD40 on joins on hood and trunk
3 in One oil is a better choice. WD40 is not really a lubricant.
Great car! 😀👍
so rare and gorgeous!!

Amazing!!!
Magnificent thanks
Great car! The ownership adds no value to a lot of buyers including me. Love the car!
Very good all the best with it all
What a lady and of course car....😋👍
A beautiful blonde and a vintage convertible----- How can you go wrong ?
I am sold ! What kind if car was that again?
V8 had one 2door sedan 8volt electric system goodbye straight 8 in 53 this is rare.and magnificent.😎
All 53 buicks had 12 volt systems.
Nice car, lindisima mujer, cheers ..
A simple few second spray of silicone would eliminate the squeak in the trunk and hood hinges.
Stunningly beautiful, the blonde ain't bad looking either😄😄😄😄
@Simon Stauber you're a real class act
Which model are we looking at?
My father had a friend who bought one upon returning from the Korean War and kept it until his death in 2009; his widow gave the car that he promised me away!
what were they asking price reply if anyone knows
this one is sold, if you have one for sale please contact Peter!
Am I the only one who realizes that she didn't finish closing the hood⁉️
No
No
there you go.
Puts modern cars to shame with quality materials used throughout instead of everthing being made of plastic.
Plastic adds more flames and smoke when newer cars catch on fire but of course the star of the show is now the EV and their ultra-flammable batteries.
Modern cars suck, especially the goofy EV's.
@@kennyc388..Kenny , at least you get a choice of colors with today's modern cars,

отличная машина, Я бы прокатился на ней по Красной площади в Москве.

Good good
A few strategically placed shots of WD 40 will have that hood working like new.
3-IN-1 Oil is preferred. Contrary to public opinion, WD-40 is not a lubricant.

Hi Mary Ann!! Nice car, no doubts! Just curious, where does your accent come from?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
everything was beautiful, the car the girl and the information. why people making comments have to be ugly is beyond me. Maryanne, haters are jealous. ignore them. you did a great job. hang in there girl.
Hello, nice car and beautiful woman. Joël from France.
Didn’t see curb finders on the rear wheels.
These were the standard on most cars..
I thought the Skylark had the same wrap around windshield as the Eldorado .

Great job showcasing the car Mary Ann! This car is started by flooring the gas pedal, correct?
No do not floor the gas pedal when starting. When car is cold push gas pedal all the way down once or twice. Turn ignition key straight up. Then push gas pedal down until starter kicks in and release after engine starts.

Yes, I was thinking same. WAY too much makeup which = FAKE bitch. But the Buick has an "ADORABLE" jar for fluid under the hood! L0L

Buick never referred to the Skykark as a "Roadmaster Skylark" nor a "Skylark Roadmaster", just "Buick Skylark".
Girl MUCH higher maintenance than the Buick for sure.
What no cup holders? I think who ever buys it would rather have a picture of Mary Ann sitting in the car and Mary Ann in the car
