Talk:Buick Skylark

message: Some changes seem to be needed, although I haven't had time to research them out completely.  
I think I remember that the '68-'72 Skylark had 400 and 455 V8's available.  And I wonder if it was actually full-size by the EPA standards?  This car was much, much smaller than the LeSabres and Electras of the day and sat on the same chassis as the intermediate Chevy Chevelle and Pontiac Lemans.  
The name came back in '75 as part of the Apollo line, which it shortly supplanted altogether, and there was a radical redesign when it went front-drive in '79.  These two cars are not mentioned at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RivGuySC (talk • contribs).
:Don't forget that there were also options on the '68-'72s where you could get a for barrel carb.  In '68 and '69, this meant the 350 was producing 280hp.  In '70-'72, that number changed, slightly up for '70 and '71, then down for '72.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.180.225 (talk) 03:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That misinformation was put there in 2017 by an editor fond of using misleading edit summaries, and it wasn't caught until you saw it. I've fixed it, although the article already stated that the 300 had aluminum heads. Thanks for finding the problem. --Sable232 (talk) 23:29, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

message: The writer seems N to know, so let me say it: the '53 'lark was a Roadmaster chopped 3". As I recall, she was sectioned some, too. That's why she's sometimes called the first factory custom.  Trekphiler 11:04, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I am proposing that Buick Somerset be merged into this article due to the similarities between the two models. The Somerset is just the two door version of the 1986-91 generation model, which was merged back into the Skylark line for 1988. So both articles are effectively covering the same vehicle, not to mention how the Somerset article is a stub that doesn't contain enough unique information that isn't already covered in the Skylark article.

replies: text: Per the discussion at Talk:Buick Somerset (and WP:BOLD) I've merged the pages. As it turns out, there really wasn't much content there that wasn't already at least partially duplicated here anyway. --Olds 403 (talk) 02:35, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge Buick Somerset into this article 

message: I have removed from the end of the first paragraph in the body of the article the following: "It appeared around the same time as the Jaguar XK140, and shows styling influences from the imported car."  How can a 1953 automobile "show styling influences from" a car whose manufacture begins a year later? In any event, this sounds like original research and has no citation, so I have removed it. If anyone wishes to reinsert it, please provide specifics as to what year vehicles are being discussed, and of course, a proper, reliable citation. Mark Froelich (talk) 06:12, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
