Jennifer,


The Champagne Edition vehicles were VW's early attempt at "late in the year"
marketing of the current model year. It would be the precursor to the
Wolfsburg Editions. The entire line-up of bugs, busses and campers got this
treatment. Some  items such as paint and cosmetic add-ons like chrome bumpers
were exclusive to the line


It was effective way to deplete the years supply of vehicles while they get
ready for the following year's models.
