vacuum trunk release ?
« on: May 12, 2019, 04:48:51 PM »

 I know the vacuum trunk release was an option for our '65s. I don't recall seeing a complete one though. Especially the release knob that would have been in the glove box. Anyone have pictures ?

Thanks Michael, I thought that is how it was , with the release having a vacuum canister.  It is different than the full size Buicks for '65. Been sorting through the group of parts that I picked up about a month ago.

Loren, both my 64 Skylark and my 65 GS have the vacuum trunk release setup on them.  Let me know if you need some detailed pictures.

Hey Guys , thanks for the pictures. There were some vacuum trunk release parts in the group of parts I bought back in April. Now trying to figure out what I have.
Appears that it's all for full size Buicks.
