Show Notes

This is part one of a two part series where Kyler attempts to point out the cosmetic differences between each year of the Volkswagen Beetle, so that those unfamiliar with Bugs can have an easier time guessing the different years. Part one begins with the first year the Beetle was produced, and ends in 1967, just before the “late model” Bugs began production.

Additional Notes:

  • Split-window Beetles originally came with 3-spoke steering wheels, being replaced with the introduction of the “Oval” dashboard.
  • 1967 Beetles replaced the 66’s “1300” badge with a “Volkswagen” badge on the rear decklid.
