1972 VW Beetle - Tour the outside

Here is a tour of the outside of this 1972 VW Super Beetle Convertible. I'll show you how to bring the top up and down, I show you how to open the trunk and we do a little walk around this fabulous vehicle!

Nice car! My father had a 72 Super Beetle sedan back then, Kasan Red. He used to buy used Beetles, flog them mercilessly in downtown Boston until he killed them, then buy another. The Super only had a few hundred miles on it when he bought it, and the heat worked so well that it melted the ice scraper that he left on the rear floor--melted it right down to a useless plastic blob! After he murdered the 72 Super he had a 70 convertible. The top would leak right onto your legs--someone told us that the front edge of the top is framed with wood, which would warp and make sealing against the windshield impossible. The water would pour in if you were on the highway; hilarious.
Your video reminds me that the build quality of these cars was quite astounding. The engineering is a little goofy (remember that much of the design was from the 1930's), but the grade of materials and standard of assembly were way beyond what one would expect from one of the least expensive cars on the market.
