My Dad had a 1969 Buick Skylark. He loved that car. He regrets selling it oh-so-many-many years ago. I wanted to surprise him with a model of it for his birthday.
Not being a regular car-builder, can someone point me in the direction of a kit for this car? Or perhaps one that is close that I could modify? I'd prefer 1/35th scale if possible.

No better car experts have posted, so I'll step up.
On a Google search for "Buick Skylark model kit", I found a couple REVELL 1970 BUICK SKYLARK GSX 2N1 MODEL KIT 1/24 on E-bay. So, rest assured that a similar kit exists. It's no longer made, but you could buy one on E-Bay if your local hobby shop doesn't have one available.
There aren't any street cars offered in 1/35. There used to be kits in 1/32, but almost all street car kits now are in 1/25 or 1/24.
thanks,
Sean.

Thanks! This should get me started finding one.
While I'm at it, any leads on after-market PE for this car model ?
( I know, probably a tall order
