Dear mid-60s Buick parts hounds,
Someone has on eBay a
"1964-1965 64 65 OEM Buick Skylark License Plate Light Assembly "Restored"https://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-1965-64-65-OEM-Buick-Skylark-License-Plate-Light-Assembly-Restored/264244436455The fellow wants $120 for this part! He goes on to say:
"The Fact is that NOS License plate lights are almost impossible to find these days on eBay, or other vendors for 1964-1965 Buick Skylark. If you happen to find a NOS license plate light, expect to pay close to $300.00 and remember that Factory NOS lights are just second hand GM "service parts" lights and not the original assembly line lights. Mostly, the License Plate Lights that come up for sale are just standard NOS lights for 64-73 GM cars and most are different from assembly light in design... What I'm selling is a authentic GM Factory License Plate Light with all number/letter stamping. Restored back to Factory condition. It would cost much more time and money to purchase an OEM light and have it professionally re-plated and get all the accessories that I listed above. Anyone can paint a light, but plating brings the light to a whole another level. Worth the investment for your 1964-1965 Buick Skylark."You have to give this guy an A for effort, but I think finding a customer willing to pay this sort of price for this item is going to be a . . . .
challenge! 
Cheers, Edouard
