              Yes. They always had cool stuff eventually dropped by the later years.

                +1, '79s were more better in a few ways, though the engines were even suckier than in ~'86-up vehicles (a 5.8L engine making the same HP number as a Chevy 2.2L? Really?). Does yours have one sideview mirror or two? My '79 wagon had two, but most pics of '79s I see have only one.

                              nah, I think I would need to swap doors and all just to get the mirrors.
