These were also optional on the GL models.

Oh come on. Usually only one or two are broken at a time. With two Vanagons I keep a supply of replacement cupholders at the ready!

Options on the GL.

Options on the earlier GL. Standard in 1990 & 1991.

1990 & 1991 GL models had the fiberglass bumpers and rocker moldings like the Carat models.
