Another great source of this type of information is Scott Campbell's Javelin, AMX book. Just had a look at the seat section page 131 and it states "headrests optional in 1968."

This book seems to have cleared up a number of AMC myths. Scott did a really good thing with this book. Worth every penny spent.

More than one thing became law in Canada and USA on jan 1, 1968. Headrests for front seats in passenger vehicles and Vin tags visible through the driver side of the windshield. 1969 is not when this happened.

My 1968 Mustang GT390 FSTBK came from the factory with the vin number on the passenger side. The Authentic Restoration Guides "MUSTANG '64-1/2 - '70 RESTORATION GUIDE" states the following: see photo

"The Department of Transportation on Feb. 15, 1968, announces a new motor vehicle safety standard requiring protective head restraints on all passenger cars manufactured after Dec. 31, 1968. The rule was designed to reduce the frequency and severity of "whiplash" neck injuries, even in low-speed accidents."
