Trust me, the coupes and cabriolet's never got the chrome strip. They always kept the black plastic strip.

I just saw one yesterday. There is a shop called Classic Auto Gallery of Glendora. I check in there all the time to see what cars they have for sale.

The owner has a 1995 W124 cabriolet. He is the original owner. It has a black plastic strip running along the trunk between the tail lights like all 1986-1993 W124 sedans. There is no chrome strip.

Why MB didn't give coupes and cabriolets the updated trunk lid like the sedans I will never know. Maybe it's because of the low number of coupes and cabriolets that were sold.

It goes without saying that wagons didn't get the chrome strip either.
