Old Cars Weekly – 1953 Buick Skylark convertible
By Brian Earnest
If they handed out a “Lifetime Achievement Award” for loyal attendees of the Iola Old Car Show in Iola, Wis,, Glenn Barnett would be high on the short list of deserving candidates.
And his stellar, and rare, 1953 Buick Skylark convertible would certainly be on the list of biggest crowd favorites at the show.
Together, Barnett and his beautiful Buick seem to perfectly represent what the car show has come to mean for many people: hard-working, blue-collar car nuts showing off the splendid cars they own and adore.
“I don’t have a lot of money,” Barnett jokes, after trying to rationalize how he has 12 cars, including the rare and coveted ragtop ’53 Skylark. “I’ve just worked hard to get what I have … I wanted a car like this and I guess I’ve worked really hard to get what I wanted.”
