Chris, I truly consider you one of our "experts", especialy in the area of the
4kq. While I no longer possess said car or its window sticker, I do vividly
recall my first ever quattro which I purchased new and it was indeed (off the
window sticker, and Anderson Behel in Santa Clara had several in stock at the
time) a 1987 "Commerative Build" (not "Commerative Edition" like the '86
cars). Is it possible that this option package (listed in previous post) was
called different things regionaly? I know that domestic car makers like to do
"California Option Packages" and the like for our market here...could this
explain the different nomenclature? I know that memory is the first thing to
go with age ;-)...but I do remember my first quattro well. Either way...these
were the last, and arguably the best, of the breed and IMO are very desirable
when found in good condition today over a decade later.
