Well, all of the various shiny trim bits for coupes didn’t exist unless you bought really expensive used or reproduction parts. Carey, at Special Edition, had a cost-effective source for many of those parts, but the guy died so they put their coupe project on the back burner for a while.
John Steele became the only guy building 356 coupes back then and when he couldn’t find sources for window trim he simply deleted it and just left the black rubber glass gaskets in place. He also deleted the unobtanium rear quarter window hinges and latches, making them just captive windows with no shiny trim. The overall 👀 look tended to be a bit “unfinished”, but the alternative was to find someone to tool up the needed trim and that takes time. Eventually he (and, in parallel, Carey Hines at Special Edition) found sources for coupe trim bits and they began appearing on cars 2 or 3 years ago.
So........ That’s why some (early) coupes have black window trim and other (later) cars have nice, shiny trim. Except for the old Envemo coupes which predated all this stuff and had immaculate trim bits (made, I think, by Carey’s guy down in Brazil before he passed).
