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

[Rick Franklin]

My 89 Fleetwood Sixty Special has the power cup holder thingie too. Its waaaaay cool. I also love the power tilt and up and down adjustments on the head rests. My car has 108,000 miles. It drives like a dream....gets 28.5 mpg on the hiway....Its BLACK with a gray leather interior. Im the 2nd owner. Been driving LINCOLNS for 17 years.....now i ask myself WHY?????

Well I finally did it...I am the proud owner of a 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special. The car is a beauty and is all original. It has a power moonroof, 22 way adjustable seats with power headrests. It has original paint and the body and trim are in mint condition...

It needs a few repairs:
- the stock cd/radio doesn't work.
- the heater on the front seats do not work.
- the little marker lights on the front fenders that indicate your turn do not work.
- the A/C compresser is disconnected and probably needs to be replaced.

But I love the car. It gets looks every where it goes...Stay tuned for pics.

ps: does anyone know how to adjust the time on the radio? Also where do I find out the paint code...Its a medium blue with grey leather interior.

Thanks all.

Oh I forgot to mention, the crest on the drivers side padded roof doesn't light up...the passenger side glows...Is it easy to fix?

And finally how can I post pics of my car on this site (once I've detailed it of course).

Get yourself to a Caddy dealer TOMORROW! Order the correct side, they ARE different, and it's around $90.00. There are very very very few left. Do it tomorrow ! (C-Pillar Crest for 1993 Sixty Special).

Your color is Sapphire Blue Firemist, code 83. IF it IS medium Blue. Light Blue is Light Sapphire Blue (code 22 - I think) and the Navy is Black Sapphire Metallic. Code 28

What is the P/N for L and R? I would LOVE to put those on my 94 FWB!!

[Sandy]

The part #s are on the boxs that my 2 new spares are in, and they are in my Sixty Special's trunk, and my Sixty Special is 3 miles from here in storage, so.......
But don't 'ya think you really ought to leave the very very few that are still left in inventory for owners of 89-93 Fleetwood/Sixty Specials, who HAVE to have them, as they were OEM equipment?

[nsharma1999]

There's a factory sticker on the spare tire cover which I would love to decipher if anyone can help out. Also, the paint code says words to the effect base coat/clear coat and code 079...so what color is my car?

I finally came across a tread that talk about the illuminating crest on the pillar. I was at a junk yard somtime last year and happen to come across one. What did I do? Well I took and brought it home. Does it run on 12v. Also mine doesn't work so I thought that maybe I will replace it with an LED or a regular buld. I understand that you would like to conserve it for the sixty owner, but over here I hardly see them and also people are more likely to dont bother about their car. Like I said I would like that on my 94 Concours.
Is it $90!!!!!!!!!!! That is quite expensive but worth the look.

Sandy one more thing I know you want to punch me in the face for asking this question: What the different between a 94 De Ville and De Ville Concours?

Sandy one more thing I know you want to punch me in the face for asking this question: What the different between a 94 De Ville and De Ville Concours?Ya know, the 1994s are not my "forte" ~ that is, there are others on board here that know them ALOT better than I do, which is to say...I don't know very much about them. I am sorry !

Might have been my thread you were reading on those crests 94caddy , as i installed them on my 94 Sedan Deville ....dont run regualr bulbs in them , they get far to hot for the case they sit in....

I need to get back out to the junkayrd where i found 4 complete sets of illuminated crests and grab them , then test them to see which ones work , the ones that dont i will rebuild and possibly sell ....The ones that work will go in a box and be saved for future 60 speical owners

As for the difrences between the two , there are alot.
Concourse got the 32v northstar ,Standard devilles got the 4.9
Concourse got a diffrent suspension , diffrent wheels , diffrent seats and interior c pillars , diffrent trim on the outside , diffrent grill e, deleted hood ornament , rear wheel skirts ,diffrent tranny,rear vanity mirrors ....and a few other items ....Later on concoruse even got rid fo the bench seat and used a floor shifter
