What parts make a Deluxe?

[the_troupster]

As the title really. Just wondering like...

So far I've figured:

Chrome strips in window rubbers
Chrome waist line trim
Chrome VW roundel
Chrome grill trim
Over riders?
Dash clock?

What else? :? 8)

Oh, and should a deluxe have all of these additions or did some leave the factory with just some?

I'm toying with the idea of adding some parts to my standard, only I'm not sure what would look 'right'.

Cheers

Window winders
Cab door pull surrounds
Cab door handles
I think they have chrome rings around the dials too.

Im not sure but i think some of the extras were optional as some have certian bits and others dont ,

I have put bumper trim and grill trim on my panel van ! was going to do beltline but think it would be too much !

I'm replacing all my deluxe windows with standards soon if you're interested.

Clocks were still an option and not standard on a deluxe.

No chrome dial rings, they're an aftermarket thing.

Fresh air vents running from front grill through the doors.

Plastic logoed spare wheel cover.

Just a few more I could think of.

Was there also sound deadening on the floor above the engine bay?

mines got original sound deadening above engine bay. 1970 deluxe. Not sure if non deluxe model had it though?

 

[Nugsy]

depends if you mean genuine euro deluxe, or the US equivelant as Euro deluxes will have the correct start numbers in the full chassis number.

To add to the above US ones have achrome sliding door bracket thing, and im sure if trimmed had the panels side/door panels with the black bottom (some had chrome inlays too)
