Interesting that the Biscayne in question here has a "disc brake" brake pedal pad clearly visible in the interior photo, but it has steel wheels with dog dish caps. As the steel wheels would not fit over the 4 piston calipers used on the '68's, does this car still have disc brakes or were the calipers changed to '69 style single piston calipers?

Yes, I've seen it, the POP and watched as it goes through stages of restoration. It's owned by a good friend of mine (Charlie) and the person I bought my Caprice from. Charlie has been touch with the original owner. The '68s resto is a little slow since he's is also working on his all steel 1940 Willys coupe.
