1968 Chrysler 300 convertible - cl ad

A little more than I can afford at the moment (SERIOUS understatement), but looks like a really nice drop top. I hope this one finds a new home with someone that appreciates what they have.

With a Newport/New Yorker grille? It's not restored if that;s the case. And not @ $16.5K, either, imo

Good catch. Shouldn't it have hideaways? Or is that what they look like open? I'm new to C-bodies, but on most cars you can see the door above the light when it's open.

That's a Newport w/300 tail lights and letters...

You'll see the difference clearly in the front end:

We've seen this but I will take the silver one!

This one obviously has a "dual personality". Something doesn't smell right. Nonetheless although I'm not a vert lover. It is rather clean and sweet looking. But $16K, uh, hell no

Definitely a different (and better!) look on the 300 front end. All the 300s I've seen so far had hideaway headlights, but I haven't been looking that closely for too long. Were the hideaways optional or standard on the 68 300s?

Here is my '66 the last year with regular headlights. All 300s after that had std hideaway headlight. I personally love the '68 and of course my '66.

The '66 is my favorite but we knew this...

It is a beaut!

1968 was the first year for hide-away headlights on the 300.

On a 68 the entire front clip is different, New port/New Yorker grilles won't interchange with a 300. Need to see the VIN on this car.
