These bumpers indicate a 1200 model. |

How can anyone tell this is 1968 from the previous model year |

From the 1967? Totally easy: by the upright headlights. And the other doors with other mirrors. Other engine-lid, other rims, plus many other smaller details. -- Last edit: 2014-01-08 20:52:27 |

Apart from the headlights, what was there some sort of change between 1967 and 1968 model year such as the engine lid, rims and other details? |

Some pics for checking: /vehicle_602259-Volkswagen-1200-Typ-1-1967.html /vehicle_447600-Volkswagen-1200-Typ-1-1967.html plus a different interior, resp.parts of it. If you want to know all, you have to ask real hardcore-Beetle-freaks (as dealers for classic VWs or so) @tore-40: do you know more about? |

Most easily spotted are the headlights and fenders (non-US), and also the bumpers (except 1200 'Sparkäfer'), obviously. Trigger door handle vs knob, different mirror(s), vent window opener with turning knob vs push-button, bigger, different shaped taillights (1200 'Sparkäfer' kept the smaller ones) and a different, shorter engine lid and higher 'apron' are other tell-tale signs |

To be precise: the "flatiron taillights" were for the 1968+ 1300 and 1500 (and later the 1302), but never on any 1200. It had the small ones, which were changed (in 1974?) to the "elephant foots". |

Yes indeed @ingo but the question was 1967 vs 1968 |
◊ 2014-01-10 21:29 |
No. The question was 1967 VW 1200 vs 1968 VW 1200 |
