yeah..........but that's not what the real question is .....
yes, hardtop means 'passenger vanagon'.......
however...........what is a Wolfsburg with a poptop is not truly called a
'weekender' I believe.

So there's confusion .....while we call any poptop vanagon without a kitchen
......a weekender ......
I don't think that's the actual model name of certain year 'Wolfsburg'
Vanagons ......
that have poptops and no kitchen....but they really are not correctly called
'weekdenders.'

there was a fuss about it a while ago .......a hard core type being adamant
that it certain years and version might have a poptop and no kitchen, but
they are not officially 'weekenders' .
like my 85 Wolfsburg Weekender Vanagon ( poptop , no kitchen, deluze
interior, shredomatic seat upholstery' ...........
those are not really 'weekenders.'   I prefer to call them weekenders.
Straighten me out if any of this isn't correct.

let's see. .........mine can't really be called an 85 Wolfy ........because
that could be a passenger 85 Wolfy Edition.
I think mine might offically be called a 1985 Woflsburg Westfahlia.
it does say 'westfhalia' on the pop top roof.
given all that .....
that's why I asked about it.
