1989-92 Fleetwood? Or is it a 1993 Sixty Special? |

Made for Canada due to DRL. |

Sorry, but that's just a guess. |

Since this car does have DRLs it would be a 1990 model, made for Canada as rjluna2 stated. |

How can you tell? Here in Sweden it has been the law for a long time to always have the lights on. Most vintage or imported cars don't have an automatic DRL system and have to be put on manually. In this picture we can't see whether the lights is on automaticly or if they have been turned on by a push/turn on a button. As I said, it's only a guess. -- Last edit: 2011-04-19 23:49:20 |

for a couple of reasons, the fact that only the headlights are on and not the sidemarker/parking lights means that this is an automatic DRL system (In the US and Canada the parking lights/sidemarkers are required to be lit when the normal headlights are on). Also the fact that the inner lights are on at reduced intensity is another clue, the inner light on this model would be the highbeam. This car uses reduced wattage highbeams as its DRL. Automatic DRLs became mandatory on all new cars sold in Canada beginning with the 1990 model year. US-Spec Cadillacs did not get DRLs until 1996 -- Last edit: 2011-04-19 23:54:17 |

Thank you for the thorough explanation, I like to be over proven So it's not the law to have the lights on? The car only needs to have a DRL system? |

For Canada I am not sure if cars not-equipped with DRLs are required to drive with headlights on, maybe one of our Canadian members can chime in. Currently there are no laws in the US that require DRLs or that require to have headlights on all of the time. (Some auto manufactures do include DRLs as a safety feature but they are not required to by law here) |
