i just looked through 4 repro mags, they all skipped right over 1968, weird. Original parts group had bezels but no lenses. Good luck! i'll look at one more source tonight. jl

They are pretty hard to find new. However used they can be found for decent prices. If the ones he has are not cracked there is a quick way to make them appear new. Take some 0000 steel wool and buff them. Then clean them thuroughly. Then hit them with a coat of clear. Makes the lense look brand new. If he can't do that try ebay. They show up there off and on and sometimes the prices are decent. Nobody repops them as far as I know yet. Good Luck http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

Did you find so lenses? I have a used pair that are pretty good and one new one..Im not sure which side its for I'd have to check..
You wont find 68's in the catalogue. Unfortunatly alot of 68 parts aren't reproduced. I need a backup lens for mine. Not reproduced either.
Shoot me an email if you want to.. the address is in my profile.

One of the chevelle models had them in the tailight. It was either the 300 deluxe or Concours, I think. Malibu and SS are in the bumper, for sure.

Gene,

The 300 Cars have them in the tailight. Now, try finding the NON Malibu rear bumper - that's some serious fun!
