Model Information
This model debuted in 1985 and eventually had two different spellings: Best Seller and Bestseller. What began as just two options, grew to be an offering of seven color combinations towards the end of the model's run in the USA.
The triple-white Best Seller of 1985 was exactly like the triple-white Wolfsburg Edition of 1983-1984, minus the Wolfsburg fender badges.
While the Best Seller came to end in the USA after 1990, it continued in Canada up through 1992. The Canadian 1990-1992 color combinations are forthcoming.
Rarest colors for the Best Seller model? Helios Blue Metallic and Nugget Yellow.
