I have seen other sunrise 88's but not too many have the blue/grey interior and I have never seen another with a silver decal (I never liked the silver and I replaced it with black).

Does any one know of a 88 broshure available to view online?

Thanks IceMark,

I always wished that I had kept the original brochure and the window sticker from my car.

I also knew I had every option available, but reading the options matrix, there seems to be a mistake... The vert seats (leather - with headrest speakers) have never been adjustable for height or lumbar support. The brochure makes it seems as if they are. I am guessing that if you got the Opt. Pkg., that deleted the adjustments.

How come more of you guys aren't posting pictures of your cars?

Seems like a waste to me...

BTW, BLKTOPTRVL- I know a guy in my town with the exact same car as yours, bought it new also. He never drives it-it has less than 20,000 miles on it. The leather is sooo soft in it I can't believe it. (Sometimes his hottie wife drives it, I've been in it a couple times ).

I think that's a shame. Most people think my car IS new. So if my car looks and drives like new, but I've enjoyed it all over the country, then I don't understand just keeping it in the garage and looking at it.

But it is interesting to know that there is at least one other. Thanks.

well actually in 88 there were no auto tranny 'verts according to the EPA...

There are a couple of people that claim they had a 88 'vert with an auto tranny, but I have yet to see one myself.

88/Red/Grey/White

Seems we have a lot of covertible owners here. I ned to replace the top. I have a good installer, but he has no access to the tops. (I'm in Canada).

Any recommendations for a quality supplier?

AA Best seems to have a nice selection of fabrics. Haven't ordered mine yet but I would guess someone here has already.
