Is this a '67 or '68 promo model?

["Phil" <hilljack7@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a 67, I've got pictures, possibly from the same promo. But looking at
the shape of the grille and front bumper, you can tell it goes straight
across without the dip in the bumper in the center like the, ahem, more
attractive 68 does. ; )  I'm heading to go hide in my bomb shelter now.
