I'm looking to possibly buy an 84 Special Edition, but I can't really find any information on this model. Did it really exist, stock, or is this a custom job? The car does not say Brougham anywhere, and has a 6 cylinder engine. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
This car
did exsist and was a
factory production model.My friend Kevin White owns a 1984 SE Cutlass Supreme. If you ordered the sandGray Interior it looked exactly like the 1983
Hurst OLds interior w/Sand gray less Buckets.
The option code was WJE based on the 1984 cutlass supreme coupe (R47)and it made its debut in early dec 1983. I have attached a Press Release picture of the car that came with the WJ3 Dealership Bulletin. Details below...
The package was intended to elevate the elegance of the cutlass supreme to new heights,as the Olds Dealership bulletin states.
Features of the car included...
Firemist Paint, avaiable in either #74 Autumn Red Firemist or #87 Medium Sandgrey Firemist
Regency Trimi Winslow Velour trim avaiable in either
Dark Maple (W5- notchback bench-std) or (X5-divided split with dual controls AM6 )
Sand Gray (W1- notchback bench-std) or (X1-divided split with dual controls AM6 )
Specific accent stripe design of either gold or silver, The specialstriping includes both hood,rear deck, over wheelopenings, in additon to sides.
Locking simulated Wire Wheel discs (W91) perferred choice in the elegance package but the new SS Chromewheels (N66) maybe selected at the same cost. If you choose SS Chrome wheels they were color cordinated with the Aut Red Firemist in the wheel pockets. On Med Sand Gray they were painted black.
Specific Special Edition Emblems identifying these cars appear both on the sail panels and center instrument panel.
Color coordianted sport mirrors (D35) you could also order remote mirrors (D68) for both drivers side and pass side.
Color Coordinated body side molding (B84)
The MSRP for the package was only $355 which was actually a bargin since the locking wire wheels and firemist paint cost much more than the WJ3 option.
You could also combine this with the popular option package WL7 or the Diesel traveling Package WL6
Pricing for the options were as follows...
MSRP
V1K Firemist paint $210
N/A Special Accent Stripes $45
B84 Color Coordinated Body Side Moldings $45
