    :Do No: I am in search of the plastic front grille insert and both head light bezels for my 69 Skylark convertible. I don't think there is any difference from a sedan but I have gotten in trouble for thinking before. These are the last pieces I need to complete my project. Already have two grilles that I might be able to repair but rather find one in one piece. Will take used or repro. Any ideas

    Yes, that would be great it you would send the pictures. Only need the insert and bezels have a great surround> would you separate?

    Hi and welcome to V8Buick

    In 1969, Buick used 2 grilles for their A-body cars

    All Special's, Skylarks, and Sportwagon's received the same "Skylark" grille and all GS's received the GS Grille. The chrome surround that fits over them are all the same.

    Nobody is or ever has reproduced the Skylark grilles so your only option for a "correct" skylark grille is to find a good used one or make a good one out of parts. However, a '69 GS grille is currently being reproduced and runs ~ $600.

    Here is a link to the thread by the gentleman repro'ing them

    As for the headlight doors, again none have ever been reproduced but I see them fairly often on Ebay. Expect to pay at least $100 for a really nice pit-free pair

    Hope this helps
