red reflective panel between the taillights; turbos only?

Featured Replies

I did not want to hi-jack the "how rare are GL10 sedans" thread. But after reading it, I was wondering about this. I'm pretty sure it only came on the ea82 cars as opposed to the ea81s, but I could be mistaken. Some of the sedans came with a red reflective panel beneath the trunk lid between the tail lights and I think it almost always said turbo. This feature was not unlike one offered on turbo volvos of the 80s.

Did this panel come on the coupes too?

Did it come on the ea81 cars?

Did it always say turbo or did the natural GL10s have it too?

Thanks.

The only ones I have ever seen have said "Turbo 4WD" on them. (Might have been 4WD Turbo)

 

Coupes (you mean 3-doors or EA81s?) did not have these nor did wagons, of that I'm certain. It was not offered on EA81s at all, either.

By coupes I meant the ea81 2 door cars that were not hatchbacks. You know like that one with 30k on it that Paul is babystting.

 

I could have sworn that the ea81 turbo coupes had that panel, but I know that you know a lot more about these cars than I do.

 

So basicly what you are saying is that only ea82 turbo sedans got this panel and no other cars?

theres three styles for the rear panel that covers them all... (ive had all three)
