:confused:I am having problems with my 62 Skylark dual-path Transmission and hopefully someone might have a clue what the problem is. Let give you some history that I think may be applicable. When I bought the car the transmission was functioning as expected.:shifter: About 1 yr or so ago, I was...

Try sharing more info about your problem and clarifying your request for pictures. How can they reply if you don't tell them what you want for your CONVERTIBLE.:bgrin::thumbsup:

Has anyone installed a later model motorized side mirrors onto an older Buick? What would the requirements be for wiring up the controls? I am just brainstorming the idea thinking it should not be to difficult of a convertion except where to put the control.

My 62 Skylark shifts out of 1st into drive at 30 MPH like it is supposed to but once it is in drive it will not down shift for passing. I have recently changed the carburetor and thought maybe the linkage may have changed alignment because this is when the trouble occured. I followed the steps...

I am on the hunt for a horn connector brush for the deluxe steering wheel on a 62 Buick Skylark. Mine got melted due to someone altering the wiring in the steering column and it got hooked up wrong (zapped). I believe only the the 61/62 skylarks used this brush. If anyone is parting out one of...

I would like to know if anyone has changed the automatic transmission mating to the 215 cu in V-8 to something newer and more efficient. If so any information you can share about the conversion of that change. I am handy with wrenches but not a real wrench jockey, so to speak. Thanks.

I just spent I guess about 12 weeks, maybe more, getting my 1962 Skylark bumpers straightened and plated through Desert Dog Auto Parts. The first go round the bumpers arrived damaged due to improper handling by the shipper. I will say the Desert Dog were helpful and courteous in getting the...

I can not figure out how to disconnect the remote mirror from the door trim. Can anyone help me out? Later: After bold aggression, I found the decorative plate comes off and low there are the screws. An Aside... Why couldn't you put one of these on the passenger door? From what I see of...

Coke Routine In days of yore, before RainX, when your wipers did not work, you would pour coke across the windshield and it would set up a sheen of water that you could see through. As opposed to broken patches of water areas that distorted the view. I think it had something to do with the...

I took my newly acquired 62 Skylark to a car show. It started to rain. So on the way home the wipers quit working. They just parked themselves. I played with the switch, off, on, jiggle it , push the washer button without any affect. I even turned off and on the lights, the defroster but no...

use of Coke on battery acid It is the phosphoric acid in the Coke that will clean the white stuff and it also stops any rust that may have begun. Now how does that make your stomach feel? As stated earlier, after applying the baking soda or coke clean the area, apply a primer and paint.

Saw you comment in Nostalgia Stereo, wonder if you offer ideas on installation of speakers on my 1962 Skylark convertible. The door schematics show room and access to install speakers forward and below the window cranks. The interior panel is a button tuck leather with carpet. The carpet covers...
