I had an '89 crx project car, (needed an engine and left front fender).
It had no trim level designation anywhere and since it did not have a
sun roof and the engine was the 1.5, I assume that it was the basic
edition except that it did have an automatic tranny.

I never did anything to the car and got rid of it about three years ago
and have regretted it since...
