Two beauties. I used to bomb around with a friend of mine in his yellow ‘73 standard beetle like the one above.
That ‘68 is decked out! Bosch fanfare horns!
From my expert opinion I’d say the car in that clip was a 1968. That was a major year of change for the car and the little things you can see are the new bumpers and headrests that 1967 and earlier did not have. Plus the little grill on the front hood was for fresh air ventilation which was also new for ‘68. In fact the car in question could only be from ‘68 or ‘69. I’m calling ‘68 because of the color which based on the quality of the clip appears to be VW blue. In 1969 that color was dropped and replaced with Cobalt blue which is a slightly darker richer blue.
And you are correct about the turn signals. For the 1970 model year the signals on top of the fender were enlarged like the ones the yellow 1973 has, and remained that way until 1979. The oval windows had bullet signals on the lower side of the fenders. In 1958 they were moved to the top of the fender with clearish lenses and called peanuts. Then the larger ones like the red ‘68 has came out in 1964 and lasted through the 1969 model year.
