Series 6200 Convertible

Series 6200 Convertible

The DeVille models, two sedans and a coupe, had script nameplates on the rear fenders eliminating the use of the front fender crest medallions. They were trimmed like 6200s otherwise. The DeVilles also had all of the same standard equipment listed for 6200s plus power windows and Two-Way power seats.
