chrome centers = cars before 1974
black senters = 74 and above (and CSL's usually)

that's about all there is to it. Then the chrome or black for side and hood vents depended on the color of the car, what they left like doing that day at the factory, and possibly how it was ordered.

I'm aware of the kidney grilles that have either black or unpainted centers, but I didn't know about differences beyond that. Can you explain?

I'm always willing to expand my store of coupe knowledge (or trivia, depending on how you look at it).
