Second generation (1961-1963)

The fourth generation Skylark was also produced in Iran under the name Buick Iran.
Fifth generation (1980-1985)
In 1980, the Skylark is still produced on the X-platform, but is based on the Chevrolet Citation. Body choices were limited to the coupe and 4-door sedan. It was produced without any major changes until 1985.
Sixth generation (1986-1992)
