    Greetings from Ontario Canada!
    Just made a deal for this 72 Skylark...and so the journey begins.
    Bit of a project for sure, the interior is about a 6/10 in my uneducated opinion. Not looking to win any awards, but want a nice family cruiser we can pile in for some fun.
    I've been poking around the forum while I wait for deliver...obviously a ton of great info and knowledge to take advantage of...really looking forward to joining the community.
    More pics to come...and undoubtedly more than a couple of questions.
    Cheers!

    Welcome aboard! Looks like a nice cruiser.

    My first Buick was a 72 Skylark Convertible.

    Terrific choice! Family cruising is great fun - pick a destination, find the backroads to it, and go!

    welcome from Chicago burbs.
