First‑Generation Launch and Design
The Skyhawk debuted in September 1974 as a 1975 model, featuring a distinctive, sporty two‑door hatchback body with Italianate styling cues. This early design set the tone for Buick’s entry into the subcompact market.
Two Generations, Two Eras
The first generation ran from 1975 to 1980, after which a second generation took over from 1982 through 1989. The later run produced approximately half a million Skyhawks, marking a significant production increase over the earlier years.
Rarity and Parts Availability
Because the Skyhawk was produced in relatively limited numbers—especially in later years—original parts have become hard to locate, with enthusiasts noting that secondary parts are almost impossible to find today.
