hey everyone, new to site!! Name is adam im 28 and from Sauble beach Ont and own a 55 4 door and I am in need of some info on where i can get a parts catalog or a website that I can start ordering parts from. I know a lot of stuff is useable from the 55 chev but wanna make sure first.
Im looking to order stuff like the window rubbers and seals, door and trunk rubber and other misc items.
Any help on where i can get a catalog or a site is greatly appreciated!!
Welcome! As Vern (57poncho) said, under the skin - chassis, brakes, suspension, steering - it is all Chevy. 99% of people, especially parts dealers, get confused if you say Pontiac, so don't. Just order parts for 55 Chevy and you will be fine, except of course for sheet metal, and the dash - gauges, etc. - which is mostly (except steering column) Pontiac.
For sure window rubbers and seals, door and trunk rubber are 1955 Chevrolet. Here are some sources to get you started (sorry I am unaware of any in Canada):
Bay Ridges Classic chevy 1 800 292 5557 Little brittain Ont. [Near Lindsay] has the parts you need!!!! I've ordered w/strips for my 64 catalina from him. ordered it for 64 Impala, fit just fine!!! He also ships!!! Pete

WOW guys this is awesome!!! Thank you so much for all the helpful replies, a lot of questions got answered!!!! I do love this car a lot, so much to drive and with the straight 6 its even better. I also own a 64 Buick Skylark 2 door hardtop thats been done for a few years, its a lowrider with full digital air ride and all the bells and whistles but I've always wanted a 50's era car because of the look, style and simplicity....and thats what I found!! Plus, its a one owner car. It left Oshawa and went to a dealer in Lethbridge Alberta and was bought by a man from the Vancouver area and as of 6 years ago he was unable to get his licence anymore due to age related problems so he had to sell it. Luckily my friend was working at the insurance company he dealt with and called me asap when the guy came in to take the insurance off. After a 30 mins, some emails of pics and a phone call....I bought her for 1500 bucks!!!! Not to bad I thought, but then I still needed to get it back here. So, luckily my friend at the insurance company was coming back to my home town of Sauble Beach for the summer like he did every year and we made a deal, if he drove it out for me then he could drive it for the summer and then I would buy his plane ticket home.....and thats what happened, thank god he only stayed a few months cause I could tell he was falling in love with it!!!!
Welcome Adam from Canada's east coast! Post some pics of your '64 Skylark also!
