Notes |
-
The annual Wolfsburg Edition sales campaign
began with the 1983 model-year Rabbit Convertible and was offered for
that year only in triple-white. In 1984, there were two Wolfsburg
Edition models offered: triple-white and triple-black. Beginning with the 1985 model-year
Wolfsburg Edition, additional colors were added to the line-up.
-
Star Blue Metallic was only offered on the
1989 Wolfsburg Edition Cabriolet which was part of a special 40th
Anniversary sales campaign; this model had its own special interior
(commonly called "Helios") and
color-matched Silverstone wheels.
-
Contrary to popular belief, these models
were not assembled at the Wolfsburg plant; they were built right
alongside all other Cabriolet models at the Karmann factory. Wolfsburg
Edition Cabriolets may have special features (particularly wheels and
interiors) which increase their current values by a few hundred dollars,
but were nothing more than part of a smart annual marketing campaign by
Volkswagen to dump end-of-year models.
