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.

I. D. NUMBERS
Serial numbers now used a three symbol prefix.
The first pair of numerical symbols "58" designated model year.
A one-letter alphabetical code (included as part of model number in charts below) indicated model and
series.
Each prefix was followed by the consecutive unit number which started at 000001 and up.
The serial number was located at the front of the lefthand frame side bar.
Motor serial numbers again matched and were found on the center lefthand side of the block above the oil
pan.
