Any truth to this? Also, I thought i read somewhere that power windows & locks were standard on '90s & '91s, but i've found one that does not have them...what gives? thanks stephen >> Interesting question. I THINK there may be some truth to this. Here in CA, I've seen some 1990 Vanagons with the Tornado Red 1991-only color. Perhaps this is because they were badged 1990, but were actually part of the 1991 model year run? Jim Davis |
