year before. Performance gains from the new engine showed best in the lower range, at 20 to 50 mile per hour
traffic driving speeds. A new technical feature was Turbo HydraMatic transmission, also used in Eldorado
convertibles and Sixty-Special Sedans A DeVille script, above the lower belt molding at the rear, was continued
as an identifier.
