The event was today, it went wonderfully. I used a lot of your jokes, and modified them to fit as needed. Thanks very much for all of your help! I drove my Maytag to the event and wore my old timey looking suit. It was a lot of fun. The event is the New London to New Brighton old car run, which is a tribute to the London to Brighton run except it is here in Minnesota.

That is one nice wash-tub, dos it have a rinse cycle?

Hey there fellow Skylark owners.  I am restoring a 54 Skylark and have lots of extra parts from two other Skylarks.  So if you are in need of something from a 54 Buick Skylark

feel free to reach out to me and I will see if I can help in any way with parts to help you with your project as well.  I will be posting a list of parts soon as I start to document all that I have available.

[I JUST LOVE THE PICTURE OF THIS BUICK...........]

This is me in 1970-71 flying a kite in Culver City, Ca.  The Buick at the curb is my Dad's Skylark that he owned for a few years.  He had me convinced that the radio was controlled by me blowing on it.  Little did I know he was controlling it from the floor switch.

 

I recently was able to buy a 54 Buick Skylark and so the tradition will continue with my kids and grand kids.
