If you're looking to upgrade your 1968-69 Buick Skylark's dash, the MHX-68B-SKY is a solid choice that fits right into the stock dash, making use of the factory gauge bezel. You won't have to mess around with any additional parts—just pop it in and you're good to go.

Now, let's talk about what makes this gauge set stand out. First off, those fully lit needles and backlit faces are a game changer. You can actually read your gauges at a glance, even in bright sunlight. And those LCD message centers? They provide real-time info that’s easy to digest without taking your eyes off the road.

But it’s not just about looks. Under the hood, this system boasts micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors. What does that mean for you? Unmatched accuracy. Whether you’re tracking your oil pressure or keeping an eye on water temperature, you can trust that the readings are spot on. And you can customize the display feedback to suit your style—pretty neat, right?

One thing I really appreciate is Dakota Digital's commitment to quality. They back this system with a limited lifetime warranty, so you know they stand by their products. Plus, everything is engineered and manufactured in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is a nice touch for those of us who like to support local businesses.

Just a heads up, you will need to use your factory gauge bezel, as a new one isn’t included. But honestly, if you're restoring or upgrading a classic ride, you probably want to keep that original touch anyway.
