Badge moved to the front of the vehicle in 1982.

See the attached brochures.

Seems the Econoline or Club Wagon name moved from the rear quarter panel to the front fender. I thought this badge change happened in 1983 with the facelift but apparently not.

I also found the first year for XL & XLT trim levels! 1982! According to that brochure I linked. There are some really cool Club Wagons trim levels! King of Clubs or Captains Club trim levels would be awesome to find on here!

Edit: only the econoline badge appeared in 1982. 1983 added the weight class after.
