General Information:

The Super Eight shared most of the same trim as the Deluxe Models. But it has a slightly longer body side molding that overlapped the tail lamp housings. The Super Deluxe had front and rear eggcrate grilles; cast chromium extensions from the upper belt molding to windshield wipers; bullet-type bumper guards; pelican hood ornament; and an ivory-colored steering wheel with plated inlaid handgrips. Seats were upholstered in rich, pin striped wool cloth with bolster-type back rests and door panels. The instrument board, upper seatback panels and window frames had a woodgrain finish. Standard equipment included fender shrouds; wheel trim rings; day/night rearview mirror; Select-O-Matic spring cushions and added acoustical insulation. The Convertible Victoria was appointed in similar fashion, but limousines had the standard Super-type bar grille.

*Represents combined production values for all Super, 127 WB models.
