The coolest finds are always the ones you don’t expect, and that is certainly the case with this edition of V.I.S.I.T. Check out this 1970 Buick Skylark.
Just moments after leaving the 417 Coffee & Cars event last month, I spotted this brown beast parked in an empty lot and had to stop and take a look. It looked like a decent car, and I was curious to learn more about it.

Although it was hard to tell what condition this Skylark was really in, I could see that someone had put current registration on it, but it was good enough to drive, at least to this spot. There wasn’t much rust to be found, although in fairness, I couldn’t get a good look at the interior. The frame was pretty dirty, but very little rust, which is unusual for a car this age.

It was definitely dirty, and you could tell that it had been sitting for a long time, maybe in a barn, but it wasn’t leaking any fluid, and the tires were holding air. As you can see, the body is in good shape, and even the chrome bumpers are shiny and straight. Looking closely at the dealer badge, I see that it was purchased new from a dealership right here in the Queen City, long since gone. Maybe longrooffan knows something about them.
As always, the best thing about car spotting is the thrill of the find, and sharing it with you all. If you have something weird/cool/fast/ugly to share with everyone, just drop us a line at tips@hooniverse.info. Operators are standing by.
