My 84 Caravelle GL has a 2-seat middle and fold-down 3-seat rear, all
with folding armrests, as did all GLs sold in Australia. The rear
seat has difficult-to-use (nonintuitive) catches and folds forward
only; the back does not lie flush with the deck, but forms a 75mm
step. Center row doesn't fold at all.
