Silver handles on an 80?

I came across this earlier today:


Any insight on why the handles would not match the body color?

Just an option. @GarnerFJ40 has the same thing on his 80 also.

It’s a 96 only option. Only on black.

Edit: but the mirrors would usually match

Yep, chrome mirrors and door handles on some 1996 black LCs in the US. I think they called it the "Black Package".

Yep, mine's got the sweet chrome and pinstripe (but a 1995). Thought about a SS bull bar like the Aussie's but ran across an ARB for a steal. Man, it's a little different now
