Mr Buick Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 My wife and I picked up this 65 Skylark GS in Illinois a month ago. Runs great. Has had a full restoration. Drove it to the Gopher State show on May 1st. Always wanted a Big Block Buick........ Now we're happy!John and Jan SimonsonNeillsville, Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 looks nice - I like the painted roof versus Vinyl Top - now no speeding tickets!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 And I like the pillared-coupe style, which seems more unique than the 2-door hardtops. That's a great looking Buick. Thanks for sharing the photo with us. I'll be on the lookout for this at some upcoming BCA National Meets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Sweet...I missed the show this year, but I hope never again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Buick Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 Thanks for the nice compliments guys,......I like the look of the painted roof as well,.....something a little different. "Dare to be different"...that's how I live my life,....do or have something not everyone else will have or do....I have been looking for a set of floor mats for it, either the Buick tri-shield mats or some good rubber with the GS logo. I will definately have it at various shows, and I hope to meet as many of you as possible. I plan on taking it to the National meet in Rochester Minnesota next year. I have always been a Buick nut, and I always will be. Thanks again and I'll be in touch!JohnP.S. Keith,.....It's hard for me NOT to go a "little" over the speed limit, but you can rest assured, a speeding ticket is not in my future,......I have been duly warned by my wife!!! Besides, I have never had a speeding ticket, and don't plan on one now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicks Rule Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 CARS in NJ has reproduction Buick tri-shield mats. Black with white shield/ring. They look good, are correct and fit. The 'custom' rubber mats offered by another vendor with GS or Skylark on them don't fit anything well and really don't work on the 65's with the floor mounted gas pedal.

DugsSin Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 John nice find and Artic White just like mine. Do my eyes decieve me or is that antenna mounted in the wiper cowl? Wonder why someone would do that if it's so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Buick Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 No, it's just the angle of the photo, the antenna is just ahead of the wiper cowl. By the way,...the nut for the antenna base is cracked, anyone know where I can get a new plastic nut? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
