yep there were!

The trunk ID on mine is D84 for the 1987 version of Designer paint 'tho I am not at the garage now. You could get this in 4 color combinations - gray/silver, brown/bronze, and variations of blue and red I think. HTH - someone can help with exact paint codes.

There technically was no WH1 package for 87, but there was a 2-tone option available, and I believe dwall is correct on the combos: grey/silver;brown/bronze;dk blue/lt blue;and dk red/rosewood(?)

Those are identical to the codes on....

my trunk options sticker. Ours lists D84 for the Designer paint scheme for 1987.

It is different from WH1/Designer of previous years in color combo and paint locations. I will attach a picture of ours and the 86 WH1 that I think sold at Barret Jackson this year.

As I remember there are a couple things that are just as good or better with your eyes closed!

Not to steal the thread but I will go looking for pictures of the other three two-tone/designer paint color combos. I have seen pictures but it would be nice to have a picture of each all in one location.
