    1968 is probably my favorite Caprice wagon, especially with the hidden headlamps, and although not a eye popping color, I wish they would have redone it in the original Ash Gold. Beautiful car though.

    My family had a 1968 Impala wagon, White with a 327 TH350. When the engine blew. I towed it home, found an used 327 in 1978 and drove it for a few more years. Great memories and trips in it.
    Prior to that we had a Silver 1960 Wagon.
    By latest wagon is a 1973 Buick Century Luxus that I found in a garage last year, not running, but all there. Looking forward to getting it up and running.

    We too had a ‘68 wagon in Seafrost green with a black interior. I remember my dad driving that car home from the dealership. Loved that car and would like to find another one. I came home from the hospital as a baby in their ‘60 white over Turquoise Nomad wagon, and would love to find one of those as well. There was a ‘63 and ‘66 Impala wagon before the ‘68.

    The 1968 hidden headlamp option was EXTREMELY rare. I believe Chevy was trying to get a hidden headlamp option on the '67's, but didn't get it engineered in time, so it was delayed to '68.

    This is a VERY nice wagon. Already bid up to $24,000, with 2 more days to go.
    Auction text says it was first sold in Canada. Would the odometer have been in miles or kilometers when it was new?
