It's interesting. My guess is the Weekender interior was added later by a
previous owner. The "X" in the position it is in on the VIN # indicates it is a
"Kombi".

Now what is a Kombi? Because I don't exactly know. But I think most of our
Passenger Vanagons have an Y in that position for a Vanagon and/or a Z for a
camper in the place where this Carrier has the X.

I seem to remember seeing this style bus from the late 80s on the Samba for
sale once or twice with no sliding windows in the sliding door or middle
positon. They were bare bones vehicles to be used as work vehicles so the back area
was not furnished with seats or paneling. The dash was not padded. I've never
seen the "carrier" logo. I have seen the later 80s Crew Cabs with the round
headlights so maybe this was the set up for a work vehicle.

If someone has carfax maybe running the VIN would shed some light.

Interesting, though. Definately interesting.

It's for a different kind of Vanagon with a "Carrier" logo on the front.  It
is unique in that it is a 1988 model year, but has a pre- '86 round
