01 Continental Exterior Trim Question

[markhart]

I just purchased a 01 Continental that has a black grille. I have noticed that other '01's on ebay and for sale by dealers have chrome grilles and some are black. Was there different trim levels available when the car was new? Just curious. Thanks.

RE: 01 Continental Exterior Trim Question

On my 99 Conti. this means you have the Drivers Select System, which
allows you to set ride firmness and steering quickness (boost).
Back in 95, when the V8 Conti's first came out this was standard,
but became an option only in 98???
Part of this "performance package" was the black grill and black
leather covered console shifter.
