Thread: Trim on 1985 LX

  1. #1

    Default Trim on 1985 LX

    So I was wondering if 1985 LX's came with option for black instead of chrome trim around the windows and drip rail? I always thought LX's came with chrome trim. I am looking at what is supposed to be an original car it is and LX and has black trim. Was there a difference in trim finish between hatches and coupes? I know GT's had black trim.

    The 85 Mustangs came with charcoal trim, not black. I don't think there was an option for the charcoal versus chrome trim on the outside or the inside. Here is an example of what it should look like... http://www.mustanglab.com/barn-find-...tang-lx-coupe/

    '82 GT monochromatic (red)...black cloth

    HAVE
    '85 GT vert two tone (white on charcoal)...white leather
    '00 F350 two tone (white on silver)...gray cloth
    '00 Excursion Limited two tone (white on tan)...tan leather...wifes ride
    '08 Taurus Limited ice blue...tan leather...daughter ride
    '08 Edge Limited white sand tri-coat metallic...tan leather...other daughters ride

    So what is the chance that the link you posted is actually to a car I own.

    Come to think of I did know it was charcoal not black. But as you see on my car it has the chrome trim around the door glass and front and rear windshields. I am looking at a 85 hatch that has no chrome trim. Car is supposed to be all original and I don't think it is.

    More than likely someone painted the chrome trim...
