A Sixty Special story for Sandy

Oh what a visual

Ain't it though? Now I REALLY want to buy that Sixty in Illinois.

Very funny, but 'ya, you had to think for a moment & visulize that !
I am not 100% sure on this, but I think i'm correct. The 1993 Sixty Special (I beleive) is the only Sixty that did NOT have rear seat footrests, at least between 1960 & 1992. I wish that the Cadillacs of today would evoke the same feelings within me as the 1955 thru 1976 did, when they came out.
When other 16-17-18 year olds were bouncing off all 4 walls over Road Runners, Hemis, Boss 302, GTO, 4.4.2. Gran Sports, Corvettes, Super Sporrts, AMX, and the like, I was checking out the Lincoln Continentials, Fleetwood Sixty Specials and Imperial LeBarons. At 20 my dream car was a 1967 (first year) Eldorado FWD Sport Coupe, but, of course, I would tell nobody MY age, that.

You weren't alone Sandy.

I learned to drive on my dad's '67 Buick Wildcat, which spoiled me forever with it's silky smooth 430-4V and butter soft ride. Oh, I caved to peer pressure and drove the jacked-up, wide-tired, cammed and Holly double pumper infused '66 Lemans, '67 Chevelle SS396 etc. , but I always wanted a luxo-liner.

Some things about getting older are better.

At 27, look what I am driving:thumbsup:

If I am not mistaken, the rear seat foot rests disappeared after the 88 model year of sixty specials when it was no longer on an extended platform as in 87 & 88. My 91 does not have them. If I am incorrect and I am supppose to have them, let me know...I need to find some!!!

You Are Correct And I Was Wrong !
1988 Was The Final Year For Rear Seat Footrests, And Only On The Sixty Special, I Believe.
