I think it's an Oldsmobile of some kind.  Possibly the owner's initial.
I see that car often.  If I ever run into its driver I'll have to
remember to ask what the significance of the 68/'D' is.

As Tim May pointed out, the letter D if 68d is read and the letter 'h' if
68h is read.  Its a joke.  

Get it?  h if its read in hex, and D if its read in Decimal.

I didn't add to that thread.

I did write several long articles about crypto, objects, toolkits,
etc., but I guess stuff like this is outside the current charter of
Cypherpunks, as there has been little comment on my proposals today
(I'm reading my mail sequentially, and mostly I've seen stuff about
guns, Oldsmobiles, inner cities, warrantless searches, housing
projects, ASCII codes ("Hey, _codes_ man!"), and nothing on the
threads on crypto toolkits. Oh well.)
