DeLuxe or De Luxe ?

Plymouth is De Luxe (with a space), according to an old brochure.

I changed the two on the site that were spelled as one word.

I think it depends on the makes no? or on countries as well? So we must adapt the names case by case between the three possibilities DeLuxe; De Luxe and Deluxe...
On Simca for instance the term is De Luxe

It probably depends on the makes, yes.
I think that I'll make an automatic replacement based on the make, using this topic as reference. So any info for all makes is welcome :smile: Thanks to those that already gave some info.

It´s more complicated than that, it even changes over the years depending on what was most in fashion at the styling departments.
For Chevrolet it´s De Luxe at least on the pre-war cars and about 1950 they tend to use DeLuxe. I have no reference to show for the moment though.

Here some samples for Chevrolet from Mc Lellans automotive, the best I could get for the moment. They´re rather small but I think you can see fairly well.

1949: Fleetline De Luxe in the commercial text and the badge on the car DeLuxe

Browsing through Plymouth and Ford gave a similar picture, the word changes back and forth but mostly it´s De Luxe or at least hard to determine wether it´s a space or not.
