There were 3 models models in the Special Deluxe line: the 2-door hardtop coupe 4-door Sedan and the Station Wagon, with the wagon only available in V-8 configuration.
Skylark – Skylark was Buick’s mid-size top line and its exterior distinction was shown by the fitment of rear fender skirts, a full-length lower body bright molding, simulated front fender vents, a ribbed rear cove panel and a grille with more horizontal bars. “Skylark” in script was placed on the rear quarters and Skylarks had no Ventiports. Cloth and vinyl trim with bench front seats were standard, except on the convertible, which was all-vinyl trimmed. All-vinyl was optional for other models and bucket seats with or without a console were also offered as an option.

Rear wheelhouses were open, unlike other Skylark models. Interiors were all-vinyl and standard equipment was the same as the Skylark Coupe, Convertible and Hardtop.
