Brian, did you install the 66 vac trunk release? Wonder if you could get it factory install or dealer?. The under hood of the 66 with the cruse control, is that all factory? I seem to remember you bought a hole car to get it.

Here is what is on my 66 GS. Previous long term owner told me the original purchaser picked out these accessories when ordered. Trunk release, emergency flashers, tissue dispenser, and 4 note horn.

That's the same one pictured in post 2 from the full-line sales brochure for all 1965 Buick models, which says available for big Buicks only. But Brian's pictures of what he has in his 65 GS is different. Interesting times when these Buick's were built.

My car is a 1966 so that probably makes a difference too.

Anyone know of a retro electric trunk and door lock unlock system?

 There are a few suppliers of the door lock systems with remote . Summit Racing , Jegs Performance, Speedway Motors. Also some trunk release systems.
 I just did a google search for , automotive power door lock.

That looks very interesting and the price is reasonable too.
