`68 was the first year for the Astro-Ventilation on the Caprice Coupe, but the four door cars and wagons still had the vent windows - along with the Impala Custom Coupes. As Rob points out, the "real deal" `68 Caprice Coupe glass would have the Astro-Ventilation sticker down in the lower front corner.
Seems like Chevy wanted to make this new "high tech" innovation available only on its top of the line luxury flag ship Caprice during its first year of availability.
Looks like Rob is finding out how hard it is to come by this glass right now. My buddy spent over a year trying to locate an NOS set of Astro-Ventilation glass for his `68! You might want to try All American in Vancouver, WA. I haven't been up there for a couple of months, but they currently show 3 `68 2-door Caprice Coupes in the yard. No telling what condition the door glass is in though.
