'68 Electra?

This ad says this is a '68 Electra with a 350. Is this actually a LeSabre? My understanding was that the 430 was the base engine in the Electra in '67 and '68. Also, that roof line does not look like an Electra to me, but I was not sure.

Three Ventiports: LeSabre :TU:
(no Ventiports: Wildcat)

And that roof line is showing that this isn't an Electra.

Erik is correct, it's a '68 LeSabre. The steering wheel also indicates LeSabre, as does the grill.
Wilddat, Riviera and Electras had a three spoked wheel. :TU:

 

While I fully agree that it is a '68 Lesabre, I'm not sure on the steering wheel. Perhaps there were wheel options based on trim. My steering wheel (all original) has three skinny spokes, not like the picture that shows a fat middle spoke.

Does your car have the optional tilt steering wheel ?

 

Correct! My '68 does have tilt.

 

Thanks everyone, I guessed right on it being a LeSabre! It's amazing to me that someone can sell a car and have the wrong model in their ad, especially for such an old car that is in decent shape.

 

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that cars with tilt steering came with the three spoke steering wheel:

 

Tilt wheel option could very well be the reason for a 3 spoked wheel in a '68LeSabre Erik, while Widcats, and Electras had them with, or without tilt, and the tilt wheel was standard on Rivieras. :TU:

 

OK V-8 Buick People; I just noticed the 68 Wildcat has the 65 center caps. What's up with dat? Mitch

 

Do you mean the Wildcat in the brochure scan ?
