I am still getting private messages & e-mails asking for "what makes a Sixty Special....'special' and/or what do they have that deVilles don't, so for one final time, hopefully with the PROPER title I used this time, it can be searchable in the future.
The following items were optional at extra cost on the deVille; and were standard equipment on the Sixty Special:-
Power Trunk Lid Pull Down - Trunk Mat - Trunk Convenience Net
Driver & Passenger Illuminated Visor Vanity Mirrors and Automatic Dimming
Exterior Driver's Mirror and Interior Rear View Mirror.
Remote Fuel Door lock/Release
Digital Dash - Trumpet Horn - Illuminated Entry System
Full Length Padded Vinyl Roof - Traction Control -
Buyer's Choice of Wire Wheel Discs -OR- Cast Aluminum Lacy Wheels.
The following items were EXCLUSIVE to the Sixty Special, and were NOT AVAILABLE on the deVille:-
Electroluminescent "C" Pillar Wreath & Crest
Dual Illuminated Rear Seat Visor Vanity Mirrors (Deleted when MoonRoof was ordered)
Fender Skirts
Genuine American Walnut Wood Interior Trim

The Following Options were offered on the Sixty Special, BUT were NOT available on the deVille:-

(This option {ULTRA} was $3,500.00). 688 were made.
The Sixty-Special had a MSRLP that was $4,240.00 more than a Sedan deVille, however when the above items in the first group were added to the deVille, then then price difference dropped to $2,072.00 more for the Sixty Special. Their dimensions were identical, with the Sixty Special weighing 44 pounds more. They shared the same interior & exterior colors.
