    Anyone know what these parts are? This was in a box of stuff I bought, most of the other stuff was 53 Buick. PS: I do know what the Skylark emblems are. Are they worth anything in this condition? Thanks

    Well, I think the bottom picture is an ashtray for the back of the front seat. Or maybe for a rear arm rest.

    That horseshoe molding goes on the dash where the cutout for the steering column is (definitely Buick, pretty sure it's not Skylark-specific), and I believe that little die cast aluminum bit with the two holes is also related to the column, it's like a column drop spacer.

    The half moon sheet metal pieces in the second picture hold the knockoff spinners on the Skylark wire wheels. The round thing in the second picture under the horseshoe mounding looks like the piece that goes between the door panel and the window cranks or inside door handles.

    Thanks everyone, most parts ID'd. Did they have power windows on a 53?

    Yes, or a power seat. Could of been driven by hydraulics. . The seat as well as the windows. Then there`s the power locks.
