Looking for my dad's 1968 Chevelle 396 convertible SS

[427strato]

In 1968 my ex-father-in-law was a salesman at the local Pontiac dealer, C. W. Smiths, in Brantford, Ont. He tried to order me a new 68 SD with the L78 and I can confirm it was not available. I had previously went to the Chevrolet dealer and they could get a Chevelle for me with the L78, so he thought he could get the same option on the Beaumont; no such luck. I ended up buying my 68 Stratochief with a 427 4spd at that time from him. I eventually bought, and still have, a 68 Beaumont SD as well, however it is only the 350 hrs.

Bill....best of luck in your hunt. That's a great car and nicely optioned. I've never seen a seafrost convert in the 45 yrs I've followed these cars. Hope you find it!

Sounds like your uncle has good taste as well! The 68 SD's are gorgeous and an M22 is the top of the heap.
