Among other things the Deluxe version has:

1. Chrome trim around the windshield.
2. Stainless steel trim pieces (4) on each fender.
3. Stainless steel wheel rings.
4. Stainless steel trim pieces on the running board.
5. Chrome on window reveals.
6. Upgraded upholstery (leather trim).

JD, I've searched the 1941 data books for a similar list of upgrade features on the 160 DE cars but found nothing; surely it's different than the 110 DE features, have you found anything?

No, I was planning to go through it tonight when I have more time. Honestly, I wasn't even aware that a 160 Deluxe existed. It's right here in the model information section but somehow I never picked up on it.

It appears that the 110 Deluxe makes the 110 look much like a 120 as far as trim is concerned.

It describes the 160DE trim on the bottom of page 44. Not really a "list," as there were so many options.

Thanks West, looks like I don't have the proper document, I was looking in "Information on the 1941 Packard Cars, relating to Prices, Specifications, Colors, Upholstery, Accessories, Equipment and Factory Delivery in the United States" dated January 20, 1941, only a 27 page document.

Any chance you could scan and email me page 44 from your document?
