1968 model years were the first to have key-in-ignition horn relay/buzzers. The horn relays were different-1115837 (67) vs 1115862 (68). The 68 had an additional terminal to ground when the key was left in the ignition switch and the driver door was opened.

Owners learned quickly to just pull the key back some in the switch when it went off----Then later close and lock the door after they forgot about it!! The smart kids learned quickly to disconnect the pink/black wire from the relay.
It was part of a "Theft deterrent system" campaign on the part of GM for 1968 model vehicles. Big print on the owners manual facing pages and owners envelope about it. No doubt a federally mandated program to remind neglectful owners to be more diligent about taking their keys with them!
