What is the difference between a Cutlass and Cutlass S in 68, because looking for parts you can get it for one but not the other?

Base model is the F-85, with mid-level Cutlass S, and upscale Cutlass Supreme, as well as the 442 in 1968

Can't at work till the morning. just want to know why is it so hard to get parts for the 68 Cutlass S

boese1978

Parts should be interchangable.

Thanks,
tried to get high lift coil springs and they stated that it fit the Cutlass but not the Cutlass S

You could only get a convertible in a Cutlass S or 442 trim in 68 and they were very similar. The springs were different depending on engine type, towing package, etc. Get 442 springs they were the same whether convertible or Hardtop. Here's the page out of the assembly manual:

The "S" stands for S. There was no "Sport" model. It's just a name made up by the marketing department. There are no substantive mechanical differences between a Cutlass, Cutlass S, or Cutlass Supreme, just trim and base equipment differences.
