Super Eights had additional rear bumper guards and the Pelikan hood mascot.

(The Deluxe had chrome trim over the doors and larger wheel covers) The Super 8 and Super Deluxe 8 had the "Goddess of Speed" ornament (with the circular disc in front). The Custom 8 had the large bird with the uplifted wings. The photo'ed car appears to have the small hubcaps, simpler taillamps without the divider bar and no chrome over the doors so I would classify this as a Standard 8. -- Last edit: 2010-08-28 02:26:17
