Compare 1967: http://www.dealsonwheels.com/search/detail.aspx?id=00311444E11 And 1968 (more likely because side trim is flush with rear fender skirts): http://www.othersideoftime.com/6896rightrear.htm Other members will be able to tell a 4 door sedan from a hardtop, so I will wait and check back. -- Last edit: 2008-06-02 12:32:31

The rear window just looks too long (see second link above), or could that be attributed to a motion-blur effect?
