For all you "die hard" 1965 Skylark/GS guys out there, I want to make sure you are aware of what it takes to produce these parts, and I strongly encourage you to have a spare set sitting on your parts shelves for the following reasons:
The parts must be made in minimum quantity production runs, which costs a significant outlay of up-front cash.
The demand is always deminishing (they aren't making anymore '65 Buicks), so the need for future production runs lessen.
The molds could break at anytime.
In other words, eventually there will come a point of "when they're gone, they're gone."
I don't want to come off as pressuring anyone to buy another set out of fear. I just want to make sure that everyone is aware of the reality of producing these parts, and that you at least consider having a spare set. THANK YOU

Dear Dan and mid-60s Buick caregivers,
I goofed and didn't buy any spare front parking light gaskets when I got a replacement pair a while back. So put me down for 2 pairs of gaskets. PM just sent!
Thanks for taking care of this for us!! :hello2:
Cheers, Edouard :occasion14:

Dan, got mine today. Look good. On the shelf for now and will work into the winter projects along with bumper rechrome, armrest rechrome, window fuzzy replacement and other odds and ends. When the car sits in the garage for 5-6 months, you may as well take it apart.
-
Dan , received mine today also . They look great .
Thanks again . I might order another pair in the near future but need to get some more parts rechromed first .
-
Dear Dan, Glenn, John, and mid-60s Buick parts hounds,
The gaskets landed in my mailbox today as well. Just one problem. Since I bought them as spares . . . . now I've got to figure out - where to store them!!
Thanks Dan!! :icon_thumright:
Cheers, Edouard :occasion14:

Thanks everyone for the kind words. The credit really belongs to two people - Chris H., the founder of this website and creator of the entire lens project, and the fellow Board Member that produces the gaskets exclusively for me. I am honored that Chris has passed the torch to me to continue with production. Thank you both!
Cheers! :cheers2:

Received mine set today very nice.

Remaining inventory: 8 pairs of front lenses and 15 pairs of reverse lenses. Once these are gone, I have no clue when I will be authorizing another production run.

Inventory is getting extremely low. Just 3 pairs of front lenses and 10 pairs of reverse lenses are left. If you're thinking about ordering, I recommend you do so soon. Gaskets still in stock. Thank you everyone for your purchases. :occasion14:

It took 4 months, but all parts now back IN STOCK.

Dan,
I imagine the time and & energy to reproduce these is great.
Which is why I'm thanking you, I asked for some last Christmas and got them, they look so good. Mine were really old and cracked. Even with a little bit of a bent bumper they look awesome.

Annual bump. Just a few sets left of each on this production run. Not sure when I'll initiate another production run given the lack of demand (they aren't making any more '65 Skylarks! lol)
Do you have a spare set on your shelf? You should!
-
I would like a set of both please
-
Great. I’ll be in touch over email in the next couple days. Thanks!

Jim - I will be in touch soon too.
Thanks.

Michael & Jim:

Thanks everyone.

Hi Dan,
I'll take the last sets, if they haven't been spoken for.

Hi Dan, Thanks for sending out the parts. Those lenses look great! Well worth the money.

I stopped by the factory that makes my parts on Monday. Here's what the reverse molds look like - in case you were curious.
-
Dan,
For me, this is always very cool to see. I've been in the injection molding/plastics industry since 1986. That tool looks like it's in good condition from the photo. Even a prototype mold can last a long time making short runs. Looks like it runs in a 90-100 ton machine, especially since the material is PC. I'm assuming you had this built domestically. Overseas tools were considerably cheaper but your IP will definitely be compromised. These days though things are turning around with shipping costs, delays, power outages, etc. it makes sense to build even production tools domestically or in places like Canada or Portugal.

Are there any of the park light lenses still available?
-
Hey Dan,
Are you still making the turn signal lenses for the 1965 Skylark?

Hey Dan,

Welcome James!
When you get a chance, could you put a post up telling us what you offer for the 65-66 GS's?
I'm local to you, visited you about 5 years ago in my red '66 GS. I take my blue '66 to the area shows.

Still working on the next (and final?) production run of lenses.

Still working on the next (and final?) production run of lenses.
Lenses have been produced. Now on to paint.
Thank you for your patience.
There are also issues with the gasket production - which I will work on next.

1/22/24 UPDATE:
I am pleased to announce that I have the reverse lenses, reverse gaskets, turn signal gaskets and a limited number of front turn signal lenses now in-hand IN STOCK and ready to ship.
I've said it before... These products are getting more difficult to produce each production run. This PARTIAL lens order took 21 months to get done (I still don't have my entire order), and the gaskets currently are not being produced at this time. If you want these parts (or a spare for your shelf), now is the time. This is potentially the FINAL production run... That statement is NOT a sales tactic. I simply can no longer guarantee that these will be made in the future.
I am offering these products first to my 65 GS members and friends, before I make them available to the Buick Parts Catalog companies such as CARS...

I might be in the market for some.

BUYER BEWARE!
There now CHINESE knock-off reproductions on eBay. These are NOT my parts and surely not to our quality standards. BUYER BEWARE
Yet another reason why I probably won't be making these any longer.
-
I hate seeing this. The amount of time, effort and expense, to create quality repops and ensuring satisfied customers, only to have thieves steal all of that is frustrating.
No one can blame you for walking away.
-
Bump.
Just sent some over to Cars LLC or you can purchase directly from me.
