The Power Brakes Were Rebuilt Including New Wheel Cylinders, Brake Linings, Master Cylinder, and a Brake Booster. The 3 Speed Automatic Transmission was Also Serviced and Shifts Well. The Factory, Original Meadowlark Yellow Paint Shines Well and Looks Good Overall, But is Not Without It’s Flaws of Chips, Dings, and Scratches over 47 Years.The Power White Top Operates Well and Is Really Enjoyable It’s Not Raining. The White Vinyl Interior Is Very Clean and Looks Great For 47 Years Old. The Top Dash Has No Cracks. The Gauges Are Vibrant, and the Plastic Covers are Clear. The Heater and Vent Work Well. The Air Conditioning Should Work With a Service and a Few Hoses. The Tires are Older and Should Be Inspected Before a Road Trip Is Planned. All 4 Factory, Original Buick Stainless Steel Hubcaps Look Great. The Original Spare Tire, Bumper Jack and Trunk Liner are Still Present In the Trunk. The Skylark Tracks Well Driving Down the Street. The Long Wheel Base Makes the Drive Smooth Over Uneven Roads. A 1972 Buick Skylark Like This Doesn’t Come Up Very Often.
