in 68 they introduced the "fat chick"
upright headligts
4 stud wheels, quite a few changes

LOL can u elaborate on the "fat chick"
LOL

the "late" beetles 68 and on look wider, particularly in the rear, when you look at the decklid, i dont know if theyre actually wider though..
and the guards dont look as smooth, due to the upright headies

pre 68 beetles had laid back headlights, blade type bumpers with towel rails and overriders and came with 1100, 1200, 1300cc engines
68 on had the upright headlights, square bumpers and have 1500 and 1600cc engines
also 67 US and european spec beetles had the upright headlights

Early bugs look slim, fit and sexy. Later ones look like a fat chick in bike shorts. Takes a special kind of guy to really love one.:P

was wonderin how many people knew that definition, they use the same name for the 70s kombis, i got a real chuckle out of that the
first time i heard that description of my kombi 
especially humorous
to "Fat Pizza" fans

Hi Valkyrie,
Try this useful link http://www.volkswarenhaus.de/bugselecta.htm
Aussie cars were some 2 years behind when the change from slim and sexy to fat chick was made. Viva the slim and sexy!
