The Sixty Special was very distinctive and rich-looking this year. Broad ribbed stainless steel fairings decorated
the entire rear quarter panel, below the conical flare. Even the fender skirts featured this type of trim, which
extended fully forward along the body sills. Sixty Special scripts appeared on the sides of the tailfins and a
Fleetwood script nameplate adorned the rear deck lid. Standard equipment included Hydra-Matic, power brakes,
power steering, power windows, and fore-and-aft power front seat.
