I don't think it would be 68°. If anything it would be more like 90 - 68 = 22°. But that's a little steep. I would say somewhere around 30-35°

Exactly. 60* is like a truck windshield

I'm not sure how the automotive industry determines the angle of the windshield... but using the bottom of the side windows (the weather stripping) as a 0* - 180* marker... the windshield is in fact about 22-25*

I did that standing on the right side of the car, crouching, using a protractor and my eyeball

The angle is whatever is required to give you a beautiful sunlit picture of your armoralled dash in your windshield.
