    I think the aluminum valve covers with BUICK on the side came with the dual quad swap many dealers did.
    Chrome valve covers and air cleaner were probalbly added by one of the owners. Nice touch.
    One of the guys at Duanes get together had the dealers book of what was offered in 65 I'll have to check it out next time. It answered my question about the stainless wheel well mouldings on our Larks being an option you could add on.
    George hope to see you cruising your 65 next year so I'm not the only one.:TU:

    The chrome steel valve covers & air cleaner body (not lid) was a dealer option you buy in 65. They all came in one humongous box. I've got a photo of one in the box somewhere, but it was available. Sounds like that's what you have George.

    Neat!

    The first 65 GS was a 6 banger

    No kidding. I got this from the guy who was District manager in Dallas in '65. They sent it down to do a commercial in Terlingua, then sent it back to Detroit. I guess they didn't have the exhaust manifolds or motor mounts ready in time. I wonder if they crushed it or crushed it. I am sure they didn't sell it..... He says it was a red hardtop. Anyone out there have a #s matching V6 65 GS hardtop?
