Will 65 Special fenders fit on a 65 Skylark?

    I have a greenhorn question: Are 65 Skylark and 65 Special fenders the same? They look like they are (with a few changes for the trim) but I have not seen it stated for sure anywhere. For that matter, does the rear clip match on these two models? They look the same to me but I don't want to buy without word from the experts (you guys). I have also seen claims that the 64 skylark fenders will fit a 65. Is that right?

    Thanks

    64 and 65 fenders are different. If you look at a 64 the bumper end turn up and look like a smile and the fenders are different to make room for that. 65 bumpers are straight at the ends and dont have that space in the fender. The 65 fenders are the same except the trim holes.
    I believe the tail section is differrent because the taillights are different.

    Hey Bruce! Looking forward to getting that fender. If I knew you were a member on v8buick, I guess I could have just asked you directly. Now I just need to find a rear clip (not easy). :TU:
