She had purchased it new and it had the S60 hood emblem. Her story and pictures caused us to investigate what we did and didn't know about the "Select Sixty Dealer" hood emblem. We knew about the emblems and there was speculation that they went on the 1990 white S60's but the few 1990's that were known at the time did not have the emblem, including the one in the GM collection. By the time the Select Sixty Dealer hood emblems arrived, the cars were already being distributed to the dealers, so... the hood emblems were sent to the dealers for them to add to the car. Tom Payette, a former Buick dealer in Louisville says his car came with the emblem, so there is the possibility that a few of the last built may have been installed at the Craft Centre. Number 901111 went to Louisville but with no dealer name. If the Payette car arrived with a S60 emblem we might conclude that at least all cars between 901111 and 901120 were built at the Craft Centre with the S60 emblem attached. You would think these cars would be much easier to find/identify but of those last 20 cars, only 901115 and 901116 have been verified. As stated earlier, the 1988 cars are almost impossible to identify without some knowledge. Since most of the, up to 61 built, did not get the special hood emblem at the Craft Centre you must search further. My recommendations on verifying one.
If there is an X22 code on the Service Parts label, the car was built as one of the group for the Select Sixty recognition. This code is purely for internal GM tracking/audit but it should be in on the label on Select Sixty cars. |
