But I think this is rather more than a 'de Luxe' as it just have very small hubcaps, and more important, steel blue metallic paint. That spec was only available on GL alongside with fuel injection. My only hesitation is that it doesn't have extra lights on top of the bumper, but they could've been removed. That is a 1972 Volvo 142 GL.
