I attended the Vintage VW show in Seattle today, lots of buses, lots of fun. Talked to a gentleman with an 88 syncro crewcab. It was the Tristar model, which I'd never heard of, but apparently it included four doors instead of three, a deluxe interior with a cooler between the rear seats, A/C, and other niceties. It was also a Wolfsburg edition. He said it was one of three imported into North America (Ottawa, Canada) as a trial to see if they would sell. It was marketed as a "Hunter's Special." He was able to import it into the US pretty easily because the engine was CA emissions approved. There's just something about those crew cabs that makes me salivate! -Mark McCulley
