Title: Happy Birthday 65 Skylark Gran Sport !!! January 4th
Post by: option B9 on January 03, 2025, 08:31:58 PM

  Hi Everyone, I just removed my 2024 calendar from the wall by my desk and seen a post-it that I put on the wall sometime last year saying "Buick started production of the Skylark Gran Sport January 4th 1965". So I went into my archives and found an original BMD letter dated December 17th, 1964 (Photo 860) 3rd paragraph, states that production will begin January 4th.
  The first small badge Gran Sports Started rolling down the assembly line 60 years ago tomorrow.
 
 (Photo 858) is from my March 1965 issue of Popular Mechanics, page 1

     Tony  :thumbsup:

Somehow, that makes me feel a little younger.
