Selling Highlights for 1968
Here are several “quick-reference’ features to help satisfy those customers who may want a brief run-down on the many engineering and styling innovations introduced in the 1968 Pontiac series lineup.
° New Concealed Windshield Wiper System for Le Mans, Tempest Safari and GTO. When not in use, the wiper blades remain out of sight below the hood line. This system available as option for Tempest and Tempest Custom models. (See Exterior Styling Features in appropriate series sub-sections for the complete styling story.)
° All-new Front and Rear Side Marker Lights-all 1968 models. Provide positive side identification at front and rear. (See Exterior Styling Features for all series, and Body sub-section for complete description.)
° All-new ENDURA Front Bumper for GTO-an industry first. Made of micro-cellular material, this new bumper represents a styling innovation superior to any used in the industry today. (See Body sub-section and Special GTO Features page for complete detales.)
