That is a steering wheel from a 71-73 big Buick. (standard on Centurion, Riv, Estate Wagon, and Electra...option on LeSabre, although I've never seen one on a LeSabre).

That's a nice '68 ya got there. I have a '69 vert myself. Great car. Wouldn't sell it for anything.

I've had decent results with Classic Buick parts, high quality and exceptional value!, but I don't know what '68 Skylark lenses are supposed to look like.

Smartin thanks. Now I know for sure I'll go huntin' for a correct wheel.

cfBuick, never selling this one either! I saw a '68 convertible once. Awesom car.

Thriller thanks. Cool to see you name your cars. The Monte Carlo is named after the first owner, "Zeena", Claire is something the kids came up with after hearing the B52 song 'Planet Claire". The 98 STS is simply referred to as "the Caddy".

A couple of really nice cars. How did they get to the Netherlands?

[1968skylark]

The Monte Carlo I know. It was purchased in San Jose, CA after its first and only owner , Mrs Zeena Mary Thomson, passed away. It was shipped to Holland in 2008. I bought it in the spring of this year and formally imported it.

The Skylark I do not know. I do know it still carries an April 1997 North Carolina DMV sticker and it 's gotten it's Dutch licence in July of that same year. So it must have been shipped to the NL somewhere in between.

I have tried to recover it's lineage through some VIN check-sites, however without any success. Any tips?

Ruud, welcome aboard here as well
Noticed the courtesy lenses on your sail panels were not the same as in the link I gave you (DBC-board).
Did you tried v8buick.com? Lots of A-body knowledge over there
