1980 Buick Skylark

The new Skylark was introduced in the spring of 1979 as an early 1980 model, featuring front wheel drive, MacPherson strut front suspension and a transversely mounted engine, items that had never appeared on Buick products. The new optional 2.8 liter V6 engine was developed specifically for the X cars, and the platform became the basis for nearly all following General Motors front drive vehicles. This page belongs to the Buick Skylark model on its Buick make page, and it links to the generation and the neighbouring model years so that the whole run of the model can be followed in order.
