I have a debate with my girlfriend.. she says the flying buttress panels on a 69 are smaller than a 68. I say the two cars are exactly the same dimensions just different grills and backup light locations. who's correct?

68-72 'buttresses' are all exactly the same.

Dean, he's talking about the rear quarter pillars...

front turn indicator is different too. key is in the dash on a 68, dash is one year only. light switch, wiper switch, and lighter is one year only. jim
