This ‘68 Coronet came with the, I guess, special order front seat combination from the factory. Never say never.

Coronet 500 and sport satellites had that available 1968-70. Not special order. Just that most have been parted and crunched now.
The 69 didn‘t have seat back latches, they had a steel plate over both studs to hold the seat backs in place.
The 70 seats were the same as a 2 door with the latches.
Not available on any other b-body models.

Hard to tell if the captain was the drinker or if the drinker was the captain from the looks of those pics lol.

Coronet 500 4-door sedan. Pretty rare car and worth saving if not too far gone. I know of a 1970 4-door sedan Sport Satellite up here in Ontario with 383, 2-barrel, bucket seats and console with shifter. Bucket seats are high back like a RoadRunner. My own 1964 Polara 4-door hardtop is a factory bucket seat and console car. The buckets do not fold ahead as in 2-door cars. Canadian-only option.

Had a 74 Valiant Brougham 4dr with that option & had seen another last year that I should have bought, with the same seats.

68 coronet 500 quad cab production figures:
4 door 6445
6 pass wagon 4851
9 pass wagon 5137
is that a rare car? They were around plenty back in the day, but 99% gone now.
The steel plate makes sense but I’m surprised that the ‘70 models had bucket seats that would fold. It seems awkward.
Maybe it was the party cruiser back in its day. Air conditioning was also on this vehicle.
Now you have me wondering…where is the boot cover. I’m aware of the convertible “boot cover”. Is that a Canadian slang term?
I’m of the understanding that this 4-door 500 is pretty rough but I haven’t seen it in person yet but I’m expecting to in the near future.
Not sure but I’ll try to find out any juicy stories about the life of this Dodge.

Lol I was referring to the trunk lid.
Is this not the highly coveted piece we read about thread after thread?
Based on those numbers it is more "rare" than an R/T. Not really sure if that means much.
Ohhh, yeah I’ve heard that before but not common in my circle.
If you wanted to impress your close friends about the size of the trunk on your new car you’d say “Ahh Fellows check this out….could easily hold tree maybe four bodies!”
Yes the boot cover is there and didn’t look to bad in the picture but he said it is. I can hardly wait to check it out myself.

68 Plymouth Valiant 4 door factory bucket set car. It was the reason I bought it because I never saw one before.
Tho I have no photo, the fender tag had the code.You can see the bucket reinforcements in the floor in this photo.
Still had the old dealer installed seat covers when I got it.

In 1969 I remember seeing a full size ford wagon Philadelphia Police car with buckets. No they did not have me in the back!
