Default '89 Louisiana SSP

Finally dropped off the '89 LSP off to get painted. I need some help with regard to the molding. In the attached pictures I came across through Google, does it appear that the molding is painted the body color?

Door tag MLDG codes for the two 1989 LSPs in the VIN Project (KF205906 and KF205913) are "XXX", which means Black. The only non-XXX code I have so far seen on SSPs was "SSS", and those were on the 1988 NYSPs. (Three-character molding codes were used from 1987 through 1989.)

Now whether LSP had their moldings painted body-color when they were in service, I couldn't tell ya. What I am posting is just what's on the door tag.

The MLDG code went to a single character in 1990, and in 1990 and 1991 all SSPs so far have been "X" (Black), even the NIS 1990 NYSPs. In 1992, the year that Ford went to color-coordinated bodyside moldings on the LX, there are a bunch of different MLDG codes for SSPs.

Thanks Mick. KF205913 is this car. I remember reading that somewhere that the "XXX" is black.

I'm with you in that I'm not sure if LSP painted them body-color when in service.

Wow, didn't realize y'all already had an LSP! Love it! And the best color too!

Did you get this one from Texhunter? I knew he had one and sold it and it was in the same beige primer.

Yep, that's it Brad. Bobby found one in Georgia that was supercharged, so these are the only two '89's I know of.

I never like to speak negatively of anyone, but does anyone know how to get in touch with him? He was unable to find the title when we purchased it a year ago, so he was going to apply for a replacement (we even paid the fee). I have not gotten a response from him in over 4 months now, and I still don't have the title.

Jonathan, I was considering buying his TX car several months ago and we were conversing by email. Not sure if that's how you've been talking to him or not?
