Volkswagen Beetle
1972 Volkswagen Beetle Specs & Photos
The 1972 Volkswagen Beetle carried the same dual-port 1600 as 1971, but US ratings switched from SAE gross to SAE net, so the listed figure dropped to about 46 hp with no mechanical change. On February 17, 1972, Beetle number 15,007,034 left the line, passing the Ford Model T as the most-produced single car design to that point. The standard sedan also received a taller rear window this year.
