Tom, This seating arrangement can be found in Vanagons from 1987 to 1991. In 1987, 1988, & 1989 it was in the Vanagon GL Wolfsburg Limited Edition vans. It turned out to be popular enough to make it into a "regular" model. So, in 1989, 1990, & 1991 it was in the Vanagon Carat. Yes, in 1989 it was both in the Carat and WLE versions. Automatic transmission was optional in all of these models. Jim Davis 87 Syncro 88 Wolfsburg
