Yup, Black or very dark grey vinyl on back & lower sides of front seats...  also on
both sides of non adjustable front seat armrests...  Seating surface is dark grey
checked velour

Side panels are same vinyl w/ dark grey velour insert...

Now the next question is...  Was this interior available with weekender rear
seat/bunk...?

Does anyone out there in Vanagon land have a Vanagon Brochure for the '85 or '86 model
year....?

Oh, and Chris...  This Van is not for sale...  sorry...  But thanks for the info...
