The de Tomaso Deauville was launch in November 1970 at the Turin Motorshow as de Tomaso “Modena” at the Ghia stand. The presented car was a bit different from the first production car e.g. the square versus round head lights. Within a couple of months the Deauville was ready to be shipped to the first owners in 1971. The first series had a leather and velours interior with declining headrests, full leather interior was an option. Standard the de Tomaso Deauvillle featured airconditioning, power steering and electric windows. Outside the Deauville had Ghia badges on the side panels and a rectangle de Tomaso Logo in the grille.
The 1st series Deauville was produced roughly between 1971 and 1974 and can be recognised with the last 4 serial number digits between #1000 and #1220. Before the early Series 2 came onto the market.

Technical specification de Tomaso Deauville Series 1:

The de Tomaso Deauville early series 2 entered the market somewhere in 1975, but wasn’t officially launched as such. It gradually evolved into a new version during the years, a typical way of working for small car production companies. The early second series still had a leather and velours interior but with normal headrests, still the full leather interior was an option. Also the de Tomaso Deauvillle kept the standard airconditioning, power steering and electric windows. The Ghia badges on the side panels were removed in favour of ventilation louvres for better engine cooling. It still featured the sleek chrome bumpers but the rectangle de Tomaso Logo in the grille .
The early 2nd series Deauville was produced roughly between 1975 and 1977 and can be recognised with the last 4 serial number digits between #1400 and #1498. Before the late Series 2 closed the final chapter.

The de Tomaso Deauville late series 2 entered the market somewhere in 1978. Again it wasn’t officially launched as such, but gradually evolved into this new version. The late second series started with the same interior as the early 2nd series, but from 1980 posh full leather interior with electric seats as option. The same interior also featured in period Maserati Quattroportes, Bi-Turbos, and the Bitter SC. Other extras were the digital clock, central door locking and electric side mirrors. The main change of the last series of the Deauville was that the engine was moved about 10 centimeters towards the passenger cabine in order to achive a better weight distribution. The ventilation louvres were maintained for better engine cooling, but the car also got twin cooling vents. The rectangle de Tomaso Logo in the grille was replaced by a large Isis symbol resembling the letter T. From 1980 the de Tomaso also got the robust thicker chrome bumpers with black plastic caps.
The late 2nd series Deauville was produced roughly from 1978 to production end in 1985 and can be recognised with the last 4 serial number digits between #2000 and #2164 (last car produced).
