    The orange one should be. A '69 would also have tabs in the headlight bucket but it would have open backed turn signal housings.

    Curtisaa enlightened me on how to establish a 68 "rolled" fender. Run your finger along the lip, and as it approaches the top of the wheel, it narrows. I think that's only true on 68 cars.

    '68 fenders are not rolled. They are physically narrower. The white car is a '66. The tangerine is a '68.

    Is it possible that the 68 fenders were installed on a 67 car?
