    Very Nice!!!!!!! I really like the "no trim, just wheel opening moldings". I like the look a LOT.

    They're a different generation of automotive styling....boxier than the later 68-up. I like the 65's, but I like the 66's better:grin:

    The 65 taillights are the coolest ever!.....Buick should've stuck with them in the following years.

    Great looking car Chris! I like how you cleaned up the look by removing the side trim. SWEET!:TU:

    Not a problem at all!!
    Unless you are referring to my 'addiction' to having a half-dozen Buicks! ... But then I see you have the same 'problem'. :pp
    Is there a support group for 'Buicks Anonomous".
    ......oh wait.....THIS IS the place!:beers2:
