Re: [T3] VW Transparent Factory



<x-flowed> Well, it definitely had the finger indention, and it was definitely a '73. I have no explanation for this oddity, but there is no doubt about it. Drove it for 15 years and probably put gas in it about 1,000 times. Just sold it a few months ago.

My '73 beetle gas flap was finger operated.

I don't think so. At least it didn't come from the factory that way.
From '69-on, there was an inside release.

On many cars, the lock and release was broken and the release was
done by hand from the outside, but only on '68 cars was there a
depression to admit a thumb or finger to facilitate this.
