Yeah, I'm positive it was a Hidden Hitch brand. The black cover for it had the logo right on it and on the hitch itself if you looked under the bumper.
Any more details than that, I do not know since it was on the car when I got it and it's gone now.

This sucks i just contacted the only 2 dealers in my area that deal with that hidden hitch and both of them told me the one for a normal contour they wouldnt modify to fit my car and that none were available for the svt and they wouldnt do a one off job.... Any other ideas???

The hitch itself does not need to be modified, it connects the same exact way as any other model Contour. The only mod you would need is a tiny notch in the bottom of the bumper. Do it yourself in about 30 mins.

ok so ur positive that a hitch setup from a 98 contour se would work on a 98 svt contour just i'd need to remove the grill and notch the bumper alittle... honestly my bumper sags alittle so maybe i wouldnt need to lol... i think i may give this a try... how do u connect it to the car??? just like 4 big bolts up under or what??? is there predrilled holes which i doubt...

I'm like 99% sure it will work the same on a SVT. IIRC there are holes already there for a hitch setup. Double check if you want.

dude...call uhaul....bring the car to them....and have them look at it....mine went from bottom to top....did not have to cut anything and you coul dnot see it there at all.
I saw an SVT Contour with a hitch before... I was like wtf? It doesn't look right to me and I couldn't figure out why anyone would do such a thing.
But, to each his own I guess...

I was at SZ02 or something with mine and not one person even saw my hitch...they make them...I had one...it was HIDDEN to the point you had to get right up in the rear bumper to see it....
Alrite i've now contacted every where u guys recommend and every other web site and name in the phone book and no one has a hitch for the svt contour... so i guess im gunna go with the normal contour hitch and cut alittle off the bumper if i have to...
