Rear Speaker for 68 Convertible

Where would the rear speaker be loacted in a '68 convertible?
Mine car was purchased without one.

Vic, I used to have a picture of the U80 rear speaker option in a convertible, but I can't seem to find it now. I'll keep looking and if I find it, I'll post it for you.

However in the meantime, if you ordered an AM radio, or an AM/FM mono radio, and also ordered the U80 option, you got one speaker on the rear passenger side of the car. If you ordered the AM/FM multiplex (stereo) and the U80 option, or the 8 track player (which automatically came with the U80 option), you got four speakers.

If you're looking to install the speaker(s), then check out THIS THREAD. Pay close attention to what Mark Canning (Mark C) posted about half way down.

Thanks Ed,

Exactly what I was looking for.
Now, that I have read that post, I think I will opt NOT to install the rear speaker. So much work for so little gain!

Thank you!!!

Exactly. An almost totally useless option for convertibles.
