What color was that '68? Looks like mine, Meridian Turquoise w/black vinyl.
PS-1961 is the best looking Impala ever.

Greg,
Sorry to say Stuart didn't give Kenny's car. Only the old faded picture of the '68. Those cars are long gone.
Yes, the '68 was the same color as yours.
Another friend Les Goodman also had the same color '68 GTO but with a white interior.Les's father gave him the new GTO in high school. I mentioned Les earlier in the forum. Les' GTO began as a 400 and within a year ended up with a 428 and Ram Air IV heads installed by Royal. Les also had white Bobcat stripes on the hood and upper fenders leading back to the "Royal Bobcat" emblem at the center of the doors.
Robert went onto become a dentist while Kenny owned clothing stores.
Stuart went into the family business. The family owned a lumber and building supply company called Banner Lumber. Stuart eventually convinced his two older brothers to join him in running the family lumber business. They had very little time for cars with their new ventures.
As for my '61 Impala, I have to agree with you that it was one of the nicer body styles. Just the right amount of chrome and body lines.
