Guest jerry1957 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 "came into a '54 Buick Skylark"Tell us, please, just how does one do that? (Sorry, I'm fresh out of Skylark taillights.)To make a long story short, 22years ago I pulled the engine on it to rebuild it, the owner of the car decided that he wanted a chevy 350 put in it I wouldn't do it. I left that shop two years later, I stopped by that shop two years ago and was shocked to see that '54 Skylark still there, nothing had been done to it. I asked about the status and the owner of the shop said that if I wanted it I could have it, that he was selling the building. The owner of the car hadn't been heard from in over twenty years. That's the short version of how "I came into a '54 Buick Skylark" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I believe repros are available at around $2500/pair. Chrome platers love Skylarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Shucks, $2500 for tail light assemblies is cheap if you got the car for free and that's the main thing missing! Interesting acquisition story for sure............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was offered a 54 about 3 months ago. It was taken apart years ago for a restoration that never happened. Owner died and kids wanted it gone. Supposedly all parts were there.

Guest jerry1957 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have a lot of missing parts, all the trim, interior and exterior, seats, bumpers and a few engine covers, the tail lights are something that I knew would be the hardest to find. Basically what I'm getting looks as if it were a donor car. I have a lot of work in front of me, I'm just excited to have what I have, to start with.
