Michael & Jim:

I sent you both emails.


With their orders, I have one set of reverse and one set of front lenses left in stock.

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?

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.

Please email me at BuickGS65 <at>  gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing.

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...
