Rare? I dunno, but I doubt it. Cool Smurf blue, that sounds like my '73
Squareback. It is painted in L54D, Marina Blue, nut still, I have only seen one
Vanagon with black interior, and these cars are "everywhere" over here. Most of
the post-86 cars have gray fabric seats, as do mine too. Velour or corduroy is
very rare here. AC (I guess you mean air-conditioning?) are non-existent here.
