Anything that is '87 or newer should have the fiberglass bumpers and the
rear facing seats, table, etc.  Before '87 they had a wolfsburg that didn't
have the table or rear facing seats (they did have corduroy covered seats,
tachometer, rear seat/bed, and a few other things to make them special).
They also had a Wolfsburg with a pop top that had one rear facing seat that
was fixed, and a small removeable fridge that they made from around 84 to 88
(just to confuse you more if you weren't already confused :-)

Thanks,

Ken,
   So is it a safe bet that anything that is called a
carat or wolfsburg will always come with a table and
some version of the newer bumper? thanks   gary
