For the '68 model year specifically, neither car lights my lantern. Both cars in an earlier release would be different.

I like both cars but prefer the Mercury styling. John I suspect the example shown may be a '69 ('68 below); although they are very similar.

Thanks Jack, I believe I replaced the '69 with a '68.

@sizedoesmatter Thanks John. A friend owned an orange '69 CJ 428 identical to this one. It was a monster. To my eyes this car really needed the striping to offset its sizeable "C" pillar.

4-4-2 for me. Contemporary accounts said it was the best handling muscle car, plus I like its looks.

Not fond of either but prefer Mercury to Olds generally. '68 mid size my choice would be the Charger or Coronet as a matter of fact I did own both.

442 for me. I like the looks better than the heavier looking Mercury.
