Re: Still receiving PMs and e-mails asking the difference between de Villes & 60 Specials

Front wheel drive Fleetwoods for 1989 & 1990 say "fleetwood on the side near the rear. If equipped WITH the Sixty Special interior option, there's a long skinney silver plaque immediately below the fleetwood (Shape of a cigar on that plaque). Stating SIXTY SPECIAL. For 1991 & 1992 they deleted that and added
F L E E T W O O D lettering to the now wide(er) chromed bodyside moulding on the front door moulding section and moved the sixty special plaque from the side rear, around to the back, just below the deck lid, on the rear fascia panel.
1993:
No Fleetwood emblems, no longer called a Fleetwood as THAT name was moved over to the then new 1993 RWD Fleetwood & Fleetwood Brougham.

Only markings on the FWD "C" body are the same plaque stating Sixty Special again on the rear, just under the deck lid, on the rear fascia.

For '93 what was the Sixty Special OPTION became the ULTRA option, but there are no exterior marking to denote that a car is so equipped. One has to peer inside to see.
