Auto-tragic 2WD with the bells and whistles!
Eh, not an Eddie Bauer, but gorgeous all the same
Just curious. Why do you think it’s not an Eddie Bauer?
It’s hard to see the EB decal in this photo, but it’s just below the side mirror. Ignore the Ford decal on the tan stripe, that was likely added by the owner.
This is the only proof I found was in the booklet. Since it has all the features of the EB package (tilt glass, rear wiper, roof rack), I’m assuming it is an EB model. However, it doesn’t have the two-tone color scheme. I’m not sure when the gold tone first became available.
Does come with leather seats?
I’d be really surprised if I’m wrong. I have a ’91 EB myself, which is black with tan. It had a beat-up tan leather interior when I bought it, but I replaced it with gray cloth from a ’93. I’ve always known the EB to have the standard color scheme, so I’d guess yours might have been repainted. One clue for me is the black pillars next to the rear hatch glass they usually fade quickly, but yours look really clean. Though, it could just mean it’s been well cared for. I’ll look it up for fun anyway.
I’m not an Explorer expert, but I’ve owned six first-gen models ('91-'94). I also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once.
I should also mention that the options you listed were also in my first Explorer, a ’93 XLT, which was the only one I had with a sunroof, wish I had kept mine. Unfortunately my ’91 EB doesn’t have one, .
Unless it’s been repainted, all Eddie Bauer models have a specific look, they come with a base color and a tan color on the bottom, plus a tan pinstripe with “Eddie Bauer” written near the front door. They’re usually 4-door Explorers, Eddie Bauer Sports are quite rare and even more so today.
woow! I didn’t know they made Eddie Bauer models in that style. It looks pretty nice and clean. So lucky to have one
Didn’t realize either until I jumped on Wiki. I believe this is a first of its kind (trim wise) so there wasn’t any EB text anywhere on it nor was leather an option.
Year? that’s pretty awesome tbh
its a 91’ and really do appreciate it!
She’s got the looks
I’m super in love with it. The 1 owner kept her a garage queen.
that’s an excellent choice you made there
