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

Put me down for 2 gasket pairs. (Re: Reproduction Parking Lenses Gaskets)

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.

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:
