1968 Dodge Monaco
In 1968, Dodge's upgraded medium-price lineup is headed by the top of the line Monaco 500. The 383 V8 engine still remains standard in all Monaco and Monaco 500 models. A new 4-door hardtop has been added and this would be the last year for the Monaco 500 model. The Monaco would receive a few minor styling changes this year including a redesigned grill and new taillights.
