A Six‑Generation Legacy
The Skylark was produced in six distinct production runs over a 46‑year span, a fact highlighted by both Wikipedia and the Crittenden Automotive Library. This longevity allowed the model to adapt to shifting market demands and regulatory changes.
1975: A New V6 Era
In 1975 the Skylark was completely re‑styled and introduced with a standard Buick V6 engine, replacing the larger Buick Apollo that had previously occupied its segment. This engine update was a key part of the model’s 1975 redesign.
1976: Adding a Sporty Touch
Just a year after the V6 debut, 1976 saw the introduction of a sportier Skylark variant, expanding the model’s appeal to performance‑oriented buyers. The addition reflects the model’s ongoing evolution across its multiple generations.
