Standard schemes were the grille shell in chrome and shutters painted in body color for the Eights, chrome shell and shutters for the Super Eight, and chrome shutters and shell painted body color for the Twelve. Black shutters would be correct on a black car. I can't quite lay my hands on the prices but you could have any of the 3 combinations on any car for a few bucks extra.

EDIT: Tom, you've got a terrific car, and that is an absolutely lovely green color! Looks very much like Thistle Green first offered in 1936 on the "120" and the same color a friend of mine is painting his 1936 Dietrich Twelve convertible victoria.
