The "whiskers" on the side help identify it. 1968 Yangs had a plain chrome strip on the side. I owned one for many years. Ford did not make a lot of changes to its 1968 models, since they believed the design was "perfect." Except for their propensity to catch on fire, it was. Mine burst into flames at least three times. Got so that locals would say, "There goes Freedner in his burning 'Stang again."
