Ross, you are absolutely correct. The 200 Deluxe models did have a stainless-steel moulding along the top of the door frame that the base models did not have. I never knew this. Below are pictures of a 1951 200 Deluxe Club sedan that is now for sale in Nebraska. While badly deteriorated, you can still see the distinctive checkerboard pattern on the interior door panels which identify it as a Deluxe and the exterior pictures show the mouldings. My 1951 200 was a base model and did not have these mouldings. So, I think this solves the mystery. The car in the original photo is a base model 1951 200 Club Sedan.
