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

Yes, right! Could be different tires and/or different or newer shocks. They should ride & drive 98% identical to one & other. I do not know why the opening center cushion was altered. Probably to save money. I have a 1993 Sixty Special, but it's not what you have. They changed the names for the final year making what was formerely the Fleetwood in 1989-1992 the Sixty Special and making what was the Sixty Special in 1989-1992 the Sixty Special ULTRA. However, it wore NO "ULTRA" designation on the exterior, & the only way to tell them apart was to look inside !!

Interesting note: IF one looks in the 1993 exterior body parts - service manual addendium one can see an emblem that looks like this: ULTRA in chrome supposidly on the "C" pillar next to the wreath & crest, denoting what it was. In real life production it was omitted. I tried to order one (Just to have something that was never used) as there was a part # and it came back N/A so I figure they never made any such emblems.
