The rear shot shows the taillights and license plate configuration which seems to point to 1968 as well. Quick note though, Checker had a tendency to "tinker" a little... well, they tinkered a LOT, with options, configurations, etc. As a small manufacturer, it was easy for them to tweak stuff on the fly. Also, Checker owners are known for "using what they've got" to fix/restore their cars, so sometimes you'll see a later model car with a clearly earlier look. For example, this 72 Checker Marathon is merely a 72 body and bumpers installed on an 80s Checker frame.
