A 1968 Fleetwood is an awesome car.  It looks like it does not have a vinyl roof, which I consider a plus.  One of my dream cars would be a 1968-70 Fleetwood with no vinyl roof and the front bench seat that goes all the way accross on the back same height, like a couch, and with tilt wheel.  This would be a no-vinyl top 60S (because dual comfort seats in Brougham 69-70) with high options.  Looks like it will be some work, presume it has no rust, but will need paint.  How are the mechanicals?  I have seen a 1968 Fleetwood with the 67 seat back that has the fold down tables - you could add that -very cool.

Appears to be either a Sedan deVille or Calais sedan on this end. Doesn't have Fleetwood trim.

Eric, my mistake, it does look more like a B pillar SDV or C, as there is no rear wing window.  I saw the roof line and rocker moldings and thought it was a Fleetwood.  Either way nice car and the roof line is more appealing to me than the SDV no B-pillar roof line (and I have a 1970 SDV with similar to 68 SDV with no B pillar, so it si OK for me to write that).

There was no Calais with a B pillar in 1970 do is has to be a Sedan deVille.

Anton,

There are many of us on this forum who own '68's, so you'll find this place to be a good resource.
