We had a drawn-out war over "weekender" semantics just a little over a week ago. The conclusion was that "weekender" is a very common slang name for this type of Westfalia. Just understand that it was never called a Weekender by VW. The weekender option applied only to hard-top Vanagons and did not include cabinets. Weekender option included rear-facing seats with folding seat-backs and a different folding rear bed with a wooden kick panel. If you look at this pic you will see the genuine Westfalia sticker on the pop-top: http://picasaweb.google.com/miguelspacheco/Apr302009?fgl=true&pli=1#5330879715528832146. Also, there was a Westfalia badge at the left lower corner of the folding bed kick panel which is just visible in this picture: http://picasaweb.google.com/miguelspacheco/Apr302009?fgl=true&pli=1#5330879315042940882. The Wolfsburg Edition Westfalia campers were built in the same factory as the full Westfalias. It's a genuine and
unique Westy. I had an '85 Wolfsburg Westy for 4 years and loved it.

Beautiful!
Isn't this what's called a Weekender...not Westy?
