Concur with Mark. US Carats all had plush carpet, a tach, as well as classic Vanagon rear-air conditioning. The only thing this one appears to have in common with US Carats is the rear-facing jump seats. It also does not have the Carat fiberglass lower trim surrounding lower portion of the van. The US Carats also came in Orly Blue, and Tornado Red - can't recall other colors... Todd 91 Orly Blue Weekender (Carat with a poptop)

Carats have a side table and armrests on the front seats. That van in the ad is the lowly base model, 90/91. Odd configuration, some people like them Cheap fabric on all seats, rubber carpet, front wing windows that don't open, no tach, no front armrests, metal dash, all vinyl interior panels, fewer interior lights, black painted metal bumpers Rear facing jumpseats, wired for aux battery under driver seat. Many had PW, PM, PDL, A/C, CC Some were Syncro. I only recall white and silver exterior colors. Mark |
