Hi Nile,

Well, it was a new name for more of the same in some respects, but it had:

A tachometer.
Lowered springs all around (a lower ride height).
Power windows and locks.
Cruise control.
Power mirrors.
Plastic bumpers with matching full length body molding.
"Weekender" style passenger seating, i.e. 2 rear facing flip down seats up
front in the cabin, three abreast seating in the rear with a fold-up table
on the left side of the cabin, but no pop top.
Head rests for all three rear passengers and seat / shoulder belts for the
outer two passengers.
The rear seat folded into a bed.
Curtains and studs were provided for camping.
Of course it had air conditioning.
Auto or manual trans.
Limited choices in paint.

Cheers,

Dave
