Nice car!  Definitely in great shape for its age.  Although I must confess in my ignorance that I am a bit bewildered by the variety of simulated vent ports to be found on the 1965 Buick A-bodies.  Here is the style of vent ports on my 1965 Buick Special wagon:

The dark red ports are especially nice looking on a Seafoam green car (in my opinion.)  I'm just amazed at all the alternatives we are finding!

Once more welcome!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Welcome to the group Ragtop.  There are several Specials here mixed in with the Skylarks and GS's.  When you have time tell us more about your vert.
I lived in Jaxs for four years, great cruising weather especially in a convertible.

So how to you take and deal with your pictures?  Do you have a PC, Mac, or one of those phones or tablet thingies?   Depending on what you have, we might be able to give you some pointers!

Cheers, Edouard
