Neil Young’s 1953 Buick Skylark
Neil Young 1953 Buick Skylark | Julien’s Auctions
It isn’t all British rock stars cleaning out their garages nowadays. Neil Young is a famous gearhead, keeping dozens of vintage (mostly American) cars at his Southern California ranch. Of all those, Young’s 1953 Skylark is truly something special.
Built to celebrate Buick’s 50th anniversary, the Skylark was released the same year as the Chevrolet Corvette and Cadillac Eldorado, part of GM’s push to bring some of its Motorama dream cars to life. Number one of 1,690 Skylarks built, this car has been called the “Holy Grail of classic Buicks” by marque experts. Offered by Julien’s Auctions,
it fetched an incredible $400,000 in December 2017.
