The side marker indicates a 427...but the tach redlines at 5000. It can happen...

I didn't know that the door panels are standard Impala issue!? Was there an optional upgrade similar to the coupe and 4-door Caprices? Also, no "skirts" at the bottom of the front seat.

Caprice wagons used the Impala vinyl interiors, same as Impala wagon

Re: For you wagon lovers...

There was a Canada bulilt 68 Caprice Wagon at Des Moines Iowa Good Guys show that drew me over to it, was NOM but had the 427 fender emblems, it was pretty cool,
Somewhere on the it said “every option” don’t know the 68 enough to know what was available, and the owner was not at the car, it had vigilights, 8 track, power locks, tach dash, cruise control, wood grain, hidden head lamps, remote mirror, luggage rack, rear facing seat, the GG tag said he was from Winnipeg, it is also where the every option was noted will try to upload some pics from my phone or from this tablet if I can figure it out

Caprice wagons from 1966 through 1976 used all-vinyl Impala interiors but with Caprice dashes, lighting & dash clock, plus the added Caprice acoustical insulation & fleur de lis emblems. It wasn't until the downsized 1977 models that a Caprice wagon actually got a full Caprice-style interior.

Thanks, Warren. I've owned my '68 Z24 for 50 years this October. You would think I would know a little about '68's...and I do. But this forum continues to provide stuff that I can add to my 'knowledge bank'.

Thanks again. Are you coming to the NIA convention in Dayton in late July?!
