According to author Richard Phillips in the Kimes-edited book, the 1937 120 "Deluxe" added the following at $210 over the standard 120 model:

Automatic radiator shutters, sponge-backed carpet, full Marshall springs in seats, banjo steering wheel, clock, deluxe radiator ornament, extra quality interior trimming, and white sidewall tires.

IIRC in 1938 the automatic shutters were standard in the base 120; perhaps there were some other differences as well in the deluxe package but for $5 difference it couldn't have been too much.
