If this model year is 1981, then this should be listed as Volkswagen Rabbit. |

With the full wheel arch covers over both front and back wheels, this looks like a 1984-only model. The 1980-1983 models only had the half-cover over the rear wheels only. And 1985+ would have "CABRIOLET" badges |

Very early colour, deleted in 1981. |

I think the paint is custom. I don't ever recall the convertibles coming in this color, just the hatchbacks in North America. |

1980-1985 Convertible never had factory blue paint. (Rather turquoise) 'Lago Blue' was available up to 1982 for hatchback (base, L, LS), Jetta and Pickup. The source: http://www.gti16v.com/vwcc1980.htm -- Last edit: 2023-11-24 19:46:05 |

There is a whole website devoted to these: https://www.cabby-info.com/index.htm There was a similar color offered in 1984 on a special edition model for Germany called Finnblau. But not for North America. -- Last edit: 2023-11-24 20:05:21 |
