Ken, did you forget???  LOL   you should know this..remember your blue '86?
 having the weekender interior does not determine if it was a GL or not.
there were plenty of '85-'87 GL's that had the non weekender interior. , ive
owned two GL's that didnt have the weekender int. , actually 4, if you count
my ex 84 blue sunroof (not the wolfsburg - thats a keeper!) and that '83 9
pass sunroof that Tom Forhan now owns (that was a GL with vinyl seats,
because it was a 9 pass). the 85 up GL's had the velour seats w/ armrests.
the "weekender" package was just that, a package (folding middle seat, rear
sofabed w/ cushion)  that was an option, but was usually installed on MOST
GL's, but not all.

thououghly confused yet???  good, so am i :<)
