When new, did 240's come with this trim on the fender / wheel well area? Both of my 240's 91 245 and 93 244 had a metallic chrome adhesive trim. When I look at promotional photos from back in the day they do not appear to have the trim. Was it a dealer thing, or maybe just a common accessory?

The type you mention was done by independent contractors that stopped by dealerships and added those trims. The same thing for the pin stripes that you see on earlier Volvos. The 262/264 did come with wheel opening trims that were put on at the factory, if I remember correctly. It has been a long time since I have owned one of those cars.
 
My '81 262 had factory installed stainless steel trim secured with nylon clips in holes.

My '82 GL had adhesive attached plastic trim.
 
164's had stainless wheel well / arch trim too.
