I am looking at a 1953 Pontiac. How can I tell if its a "Chieftain Eight" or a "Chieftain Eight Deluxe". Any help will be appriciated.

The Chieftain "Deluxe" will have the "Dual-Streak" stainless side moldings including the stainless gravel guards and full wheel covers.
The Chieftain "Special" will not have the stainless moldings, only a small spear that reads PONTIAC, rubber gravel guards and small wheel hub caps.
There is a photo of my 1953 2-door Deluxe in the 1950's GM section under Pontiac of this website.
