But one of them is Aerobus model - it's not the same thing |

I guess that the Aerobus should be listed as Limousine like the others - fixed. |

Why 1968? It doesn't have side reflectors. I think it's the same as: Different plates, but same director/male lead. |

1968+ larger windshield. If you search 1968 samples you'll find many without retroreflective sidemarkers still. |

Thanks, I haven't noticed the change - I guess the one I linked is a 1968, too? It seems that the pre-1968 models have a distinct recess along the roofline. A useful detail to remember. |

You have linked 1968 sample. And, yes, up to 1967 they had waterchannel over windshield. Let's look factory 1969 brochure, with a bit older photos probably. Deeper windshield, larger rear window, no sidemarkers. -- Last edit: 2022-03-09 23:45:47 |

Sidemarkers were incorporated by most US manufacturers with the 1968 MY changes, but required from 1/1 1968. Retroreflectors or lit markers for 1968-69, so the first 1968 could be made without the sidemarkers, saving money |
