Does anyone > (especially Chris Turner) have an explanation for these features? > > like ben said, the '87 Westy Weekenders , ie, non-GL Campers, got this "one year only " interior.. it came in tan or blue, cloth not velour, and had vertical striping. being that it was 87, they also had the adj armrests too. tan was the most popular, blue was incredible rare, tho i have actually seen a blue 87 westy weekender before. the 87 WW had this interior weather they were "wolfsburgs" or not. actually '87 WW's are pretty rare anyway, as there were less '87 WW's made than '85 and '86's, '85 being the most popular year for the WW. i think the '87 WW's actually came with tach and PS standard. there is a local guy with a titian red 87 WW with tan cloth and he's got the tach..he also has power mirrors, and cruise (options). chris |
