There was a Taurus Limited in 1998. It had special two-tone leather, pretty much fully loaded. Duratec powered.
There was a Platinum Edition Sable for 2003. It made the grill chrome (like on the 2004's) had special rims, and "brushed aluminum" interior accents. (around shifter knob, window switches, stereo, and gauge surround.) "Platinum Edition" silver emblem on fenders. Duratec powered.
There was a 2002/2003 Taurus SES Sport Edition. This had special "two-tone" cloth seats (gray and black) special rims, "Sport 24 Valve DOHC" embroidered floor mats, rear spoiler, moon roof, and had silver around the stereo and shifter knob. It also had a special little emblem on the side fenders that was gold and said "SPORT 24 VALVE DOHC." Duratec powered.
As you said, the Centennial Edition. Had special "Satin Cream" gaugues, with a special "cream" gaugue surround. Had exclusive interior wood patern not available on ANY OTHER Taurus or Sable. Had the chrome accented doors, 1999 SHO/SE Sport rims with black hints, "Ford Motor Company" embossed leather seats, exclusive leather two-tone seating surfaces, "Centennial Edition..." exterior badging, blacked out head lights and black strip around tail lights. Duratec powered.
Then there were the "Police Package" gen 1 and 2's. These had a special grill. (Slotted on gen 1 and a slot below the Ford emblem on the gen 2's.) 140MPH speedometer (certified caliberation) and a more powerful 3.8L V6 with reinforced motor mounts and a beefier suspension. I think they also had 4-wheel discs. Thats about it I think.
Anyone else think of any more???

The SHO is special, but not really a "special edition." It was not limited like the ones listed above. The most "limited" of all SHO production models (besides the Plus) was probably the gen 3 SHO. There are more GREEN gen 2 SHO's than every single gen 3 SHO produced combined.Originally posted by Tman@Feb 10 2004, 11:18 PM

Do you know if the SE ever came with seats in mocha leather, similar those found in the Gen II SHO?Originally posted by XLSuruaT@Feb 11 2004, 12:20 AM
1995, the last year of the second-generation Taurus/Sable, saw the debut of the Taurus SE. This was essentially a sporty Taurus Sedan that featured alloy wheels, bucket seats and a console....
I've seen a silver 1995 SE with the mocha interior. The interior resembles a SHO, as I believe the front seats are identical. The SE also featured the spoiler and basically had the features of the SHO without the bumpers, engine, or slicers.Originally posted by rockledge+Feb 11 2004, 07:47 AM-->QUOTE (rockledge @ Feb 11 2004, 07:47 AM)<!--QuoteBegin-XLSuruaTDo you know if the SE ever came with seats in mocha leather, similar those found in the Gen II SHO?@Feb 11 2004, 12:20 AM

The reason I ask is, I recently saw a pretty decent looking Gen II SE with the alloy wheels, and when I walked by I looked inside I noticed that the the interior was very similar to my SHO interior. This SE also had a rear spoiler, just like the SHO version.

Don't you mean Sable LTS.Originally posted by kjw86ca@Feb 11 2004, 12:31 AM
I would definitly call the 95 SE and Sable LTZ limited. I have only seen a handful of SE's and only 1 LTZ in my life.
