Buick Skylark (1992–95) Stood out with Its Pointed “Beak” Styling and 3.3l V6

Buick's seventh-generation Skylark (1992–1995) drew attention for its dramatically pointed front end and distinctive rear rake while offering a 3.3‑liter V6 and anti‑lock brakes.

Designer Wayne Kady drew on Buick's 1990 Bolero concept, and the production Skylark emphasized flowing body lines that the company said avoided any single flat panel, including a prominent rear rake, partially skirted wheel arches and protective body moldings. The Skylark was built on General Motors' second‑generation N‑body platform as part of efforts to differentiate GM mid‑size cars.

The 3.3‑liter V6 produced about 160 horsepower and was mated to either three‑ or four‑speed automatic transmissions, yielding modest performance but comfortable packaging. Buick marketed the Skylark's safety equipment, including anti‑lock brakes, with television advertising.
