"DE" is the DeLuxe version. In the 160 convertibles which I'm more familiar with, the DE had real wooden upper door window sills among other little refinements. In the 110 series it was about $40 more than the standard 1489.

In the 110 series you could get a DE version in the club coupe, convertible coupe, 2-door touring sedan, 4-door touring sedan, and the station wagon. I don't believe there were any DE versions in the 120 series. In the 160 series you could get a DE version in the convertible coupe and the convertible sedan. There were no DE versions in the 180 series, understandably as they were already about as DeLuxe as you could get.

On DeLuxe cars, the "DE" was stamped on the patent plate immediately preceeding the vehicle number and without a space between it and the body type number.
