Dave, thanks for clarifying. I was aware of the fact that the car should have wooden door sill trim to be a DeLuxe but figured that the steering wheel belongs to a DeLuxe because the 1941 Salesmen Data Book calls it "DeLuxe Steering Wheel". But now I understand that the K-shaped steering wheel has been called "DeLuxe" to distinguish the difference between the standard and the accessory.
Not easy.

...The convertible you pictured isn't a DeLuxe (or DE), they have wooden door sill trim as per the following. Since there was no 180 convertible coupe (other than the Darrin), the 160 convertible coupe was offered in an upscale version, the DE or DeLuxe. Likewise for several other 1941 models. The letters "DE" are part of the vehicle number on the patent plate.
