 Could this be a canadian version?

As someone mentioned before, during the last "nomenclature thread"  "L" means
"Lovin'   if it were a "GL" it would mean "Good Lovin' .
it's almost friday...  ;<)

(on a more serious note - "L" designated the fully equipped westy. the "GL"
superceded the "L" in '84. (the "GL" nomenclature was not used before '84)
Also "Lime green" wasnt a factory color. Escatorial green was. look in your
doorjambs, you can tell if your van was repainted.)
