Something I have wondered about on my 39 is everywhere on the car and in documents it is a Master Deluxe except for the serial number plate where is a Deluxe Master.
My understanding is it was mainly a trim package. The two main mechanical differences I know of is the differential gearing and the independent front suspension.

I often wondered about that. I think the only place that is is worded as "Deluxe Master" is on the serial plate. All the literature I have viewed refers to the model as "Master Deluxe". And sometimes it is written as "Master Deluxe". Other times it is "Master De Luxe".
I always wondered if since they had a Special Deluxe and a Master Deluxe they had a universal screen with the Deluxe portion already on it and just added the second word as needed. I have nothing to back this up, just a theory.
I have found that having an old car is a constant project that is never done. I think that is a good thing. Keeps me learning new things. Having two from different eras is just a form of higher education.
