Deluxe came with banjo steering wheel, glove box lock, and a clock. Grills were also different, and Deluxe had chrome trim strips instead of hood louvres.
This is a 1938 Ford DeLuxe. The body for the DeLuxe is similar to the one used in 1939. The body for the Standard is similar to the one used in 1937. DeLuxe and Standard do not share same bodies. A lot of differences.
38 Std and Deluxe are really 2 different cars. I don't think that any of the sheet metal is the same. Std body is (I believe) same as '37. Deluxe body is same as '39.
'38 deluxe and '39 std are very close. 39 std and dlxe have same body from cowl back.
The body only on the 38' Standard is the same as the 37'minus holes for the 38' stainless moldings. the front and rear fenders, hood and grill are different.
Many people refer to the 38' standard as the "Ugly Duckling" but I love the looks of the 38" standard!
