Fake Eddie Bauer?

[Vanquish502]

Lately people have been asking me "didnt eddie bauers come with...." because my dad just bought a 92 XLT and I have a 91 EB.

But it seems he has a lot more options than I do. He's got a limited slip diff, power seats, command seating or whatever, towing package and it had a stock CD player.

I have ghetto cloth seats that looks like they were pulled from a base model. But they do have eddie bauer stitched into the head rest. I dont have limited slip, my truck had a tape player, no towing package and no power seats.

Is this a fake or were eddie bauers just really sad in 91? I'm gonna do some more research with the VIN tomorrow.

Some Eddie Bauers don't have leather, and the gearing/carrier have nothing to do with the model.

Your VIN number should tell you whether or not yours was an Eddie Bauer model. You may have to call Ford and give them your VIN number to verify it.

I had a 91 EB w/ no leather, no CD, no tint, no sun roof. Some of the 1st EBs off the line were like that

I believe that in 1991 and 1992, if you had the factory wheels with the holes (like the american racing outlaw 2 style) not the 5 spoke, that meant that the truck had 3:73 gears with limited slip and the tow package. if you had 5 spoke wheels it meant 3:55's, same with the 1992 5 spoke tan painted eb wheels.

My 91 came with a factory moon roof, a tape deck, cloth seats, and tow package.

Most of the fake eddie bauers in the baltimore area were xlts from the dealer, they would just paint the rocker panel area tan, and most of the time the tan did not travel over the fenders, and if it did, they would still leave the black xlt bumper pads on both bumpers. I have even seen these done with explorers that have gray interiors.

I have a '91 EB with 5 spoke rims and 3:73 limited slip ...

The limited slip (along with auxillary tranny cooler and other things) was part of the towing package I believe, rims weren't part of the towing package
