The gl is the more deluxe version. Electrical windows instead of roll ups. Can anyone else help with the other differences, (I have a dl).

not necessarily, my dl has power windows. main difference i think would be the sunroof and nicer interior.

its just the trim package. dl is more base model, whereas the gl is a little nicer. power windows, leather, power locks...etc. dls can get those things but they dont come standard.

DL stands for DELUX, GL for GRANDLUX. And generally in 240 DLs have more basic equipment levels than GLs. You'll rarely if ever find a GL with manual windows for example.

my 93 240 doesnt say anything on it anywhere about it being a 240. Not a GL, DL, nothin'. All it says in the trunk is VOLVO, does that mean i just have the bottom of the barrel version or something? I still have power windows and heated mirrors and all that crazy crap...

As far as the designations, in later years like 1993 being its last, there was just a 240.
