Go into any auto parts store and ask for a power window motor for the 
oldest Chrysler model (not necessarily Imperial) that they have in 
their computer, which will probably be '69 or '70.  I've done this 
several times, and have always ended up with the correct motor for my 
'67 (almost certainly the same as for your '68).  You'll also need 
the accompanying gear kit, which includes a nylon gear and a packet 
of lubricant.  There are two choices of gear kit, with small and 
large gear hubs -- I *think* the large one is what you need, but 
maybe you should buy one of each and return the unneeded one.

By the way, the motors are the same for the front and rear doors on 
the same side, but the driver side motors are not the same as the 
passenger side ones.  (The gear kits are the same for all though.) 
Oh, and the vent window motors are another animal altogether.

Good luck!
