1992
No longer using the Fleetwood name. the Sixty Special's refinements were in line with those of the DeVille series.
- Already employing speed sensitive suspension and traction control as standard fare, the Sixty Special added speed sensitive steering to the list.
- Front end styling was revised with a "bolder" appearing grille.
- Inside front seating was a 45/55 design for the driver and two front passengers.
- The new styled seats featured French stitching and included front dual comfort, six-way power seat adjusters, manual recliners, adjustable headrest, and seatback pockets.
- An Ultra Seating Package was optional, and included a split frame design that allowed for adjustment of the lower seat cushion independently of the seatback.
- A trunk convenience net was a new standard item on the Sixty Special. The net mounted transversely across the trunk compartment to secure items from rolling or sliding.
- Pass-Key II anti-theft system was also a standard feature.
