I think '68 or '69 were the first years for disc brakes to be an option for Buicks.

 

If you are looking for rotors, look here.

Four piston Bendix calipers were an available option starting in the 1967 model year. I'm pretty sure those factory rotors are 12" (actually, about 11.75").

I am OK with being 1 year off. We all need to remember that was over 50 years ago from memory.
