Actual model designations for Beetles are numbers that used to corrispond to the engine size. They stopped at 1300, even tho many 1300 beetles had 1500cc and 1600cc engines.. When VW created the Super Beetle, it's model designation was to be 1301 but Simca had a car called the 1301, so they called the '71-'72 Super the 1302, and the '73+ Super is the 1303

'73+ got the curved windshield and modern looking padded dash
