Iran
Buick Skylarks were assembled in Iran (4-door models only) from 1977-1981 and again from 1986-88 under the brand name of "Buick Iran". The first generations were known as B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, from 1977 until 1981 and the second and last generation was known as the B2 and B3 from 1986 until 1988. The later models were made after GM released the kits and parts to Iran following the release of the 53 hostages held in captivity until 1981. These bullet-made cars were equipped with a 5.7L engine(SB 350 chevrolet ,L engine,4BBL), and were fullly-equipped (power door locks,power window,power steering,automatic transmission,a/c). The Cadillac Seville and Chevrolet Nova were manufactured in Iran during the same period. A total of 40,000 GM cars were produced between 1977-1987 in Iran. It appears that these models were basically the same as those built in the U.S. from 1975-1979 (Islamic Revolution). It is said that in 1978, the Iranian Chevrolet Nova and Buick Skylark cars had order backlogs of 13 months.
GM Iran changed its name to "Pars Khodro" after 1979. The production continued from 1979-1987 on a part-time basis. Since the parts and manufacturing equipment were getting old and rusty, the American cars built in Iran after 1979 do not have the same outstanding quality as the ones that were made before 1979.
GM ceased the production of all vehicles in Iran in 1987.
