63D model question. I'm sure the answer is out there but I can't find it....

I understand this is a 4 door century and the "D" means deluxe but what difference is there between a deluxe and non deluxe model?

My searches don't come up with anything.

Pletch, on my '50 the "D" has a little more trim. Perhaps the same on yours??

I'm not sure what trim could be different on mine. What extra or different pieces do you have?

Pletch: Under which category is the "D" located on the data tag . . . the tag on the passenger side of the cowl? Body? Style? etc.

[Guest Pletch]

It's on the passenger side cowl. It shows 63D

Well I'm stumped. I looked at the salesman's book, the showroom catalog, the book published by Walt Bruegger, "Buick 1955 - Solid in Third," and this site:

55 Buick Identification

and could find no reference to a "D" or "Deluxe" anywhere. So my only "from left field" guesses are that the D represented that fact that your car has the Custom Interior, or for some reason it references "Dynaflow." How about that for some wild guesses???

It looks to be a 1956 model only. It was Buick model 63D and Fisher body style 4639D, but on a data plate I've seen, it was just listed as style 4639. Model 63D doesn't show up on much of the factory literature, maybe it was introduced late in the model year?
