The Buick had a little more than 20,000 miles on it when Starkey’s parents bought it. Its mileage had only reached the 60,000-mile range by the time they signed it over to Starkey in 1994 after he expressed a strong interest in owning it. “Now it’s been in my possession as long as it was in theirs,” he noted. The odometer is currently approaching 73,000 miles.
Even at a young age, Starkey appreciated the Skylark’s attractive lines and smooth drive. And he liked the feel of the sunshine and wind when traveling down the road with the top down.
As a kindergartener, he probably didn’t appreciate the technical details such as the 300-cid V-8 engine that produced 210 hp and 310 lbs.-ft. of torque.
As a 56-year-old adult who still owns the car all these years later, however, he knows the car inside and out.
