There was no external trim identification such as was used in 57/58. There may have been a brass tag on the case, some have suggested a "TT" stamping on the case, but over the years many of these tags have been removed for whatever reason. The build slip would of course tell you if the car was so-equipped, I believe the code for it was "PL" for PowerLock. Of course you could also jack up the rear wheels and do the "drive" test.

Based on my own experience and what little I've heard on the subject from others, it wasn't as robust a unit and one might wish for, my own was beat to crap in about 80,000 miles and I replaced it with a conventional carrier.
