    Welcome from Georgia to the Stepchild Nation! The Michigan Chapter of the GSCA is a great group of folks; you should join them too. As for your sail panel lenses-they’re very hard to find and were used only on Skylarks, GS400s and a few versions of the Cutlass in ‘68. A member here reproduced them about 10-15 years ago (Duane maybe?) so maybe someone will pop up with a pair.

    Welcome from Florida!

    Are the 68 and 69 lenses the same?

    The only place that I found reproduction lenses for mine was from CARS (Old Buick). Mine is a 69 though

    Hope this helps...

    No, ‘68 is a little shorter, ribbed, and doesn’t have the Buick emblem.

    I was just in Linden a few weeks back looking at some hubcaps for my skylark.
