Same or similar one seen earlier in the episode:

 Looks too dark for that Lime Green. Possibly the 1975 Alpine green?

 The exhaust with catalityc converter and single pipe: 1975+ in California.

 Which was the reason 1975 was the only solution

Basic Sedan for the plain window rubber, isn't it

 By that time, that was the only version available in the US

 So you actually never got a 1975 1303 based Super Beetle?

 Apparently the US version was called "Le Grande Bug" that year:

Sounds like swan song for our market :think:

 Now that you've mentioned it, there appears to be Lemmerz “GT” wheels present. Color could be Viper Green Metallic. So don't write off the Super Beetle yet (well over 13,000 La Grande Bug (La, not Le) made for US and Canada)

And yes it was almost a full stop in the imported Beetles - as the air cooled era was over. No other evidence of the end Super Beetle import - that could explain the lack of brochures available, but not the other way round. Swan song or not, the La Grande Bug was just another special edition - but as such it was filled with options, like a sunroof or the before mentioned wheels or the special paint code

@night cub, no better images available, I presume?
