How to use your Beetle as the basis for a 'Special' or Kit Car Book Excerpt: 1954-1978 VW Beetle and 1954-1967 VW Transporter Restoration Manual BODYWORK REAR QUARTER PANEL PATCH REPAIRS. RQ1. One of the reasons for the importance of this part of the car is the fact that it incorporates a major mounting to the rear chassis. After removing the road wheel and supporting the car on axle stands, start by removing the chassis mount bolt. Very early cars do not have rear anti-roll bars fitted to them.
For those vehicles that do, remove the anti-roll bar mounting plate nuts. Take off the outer plate, rubber bush and inner plate to release the anti-roll bar from the inner panel. Later models have an arm mounted on the anti-roll bar and this must be removed after unscrewing the Allen (internal hexagonal) screw. Remove the damper top mounting. CHASSIS MOUNTING REPAIR. RQ6.
Corrosion frequently takes place in the seam joining the chassis mount reinforcement plate to the inner panel. Scrape all along the seam to determine whether this panel is weak or not, even it if looks superficially sound.

It was used up until 1948. In 1949, VW introduced the 'big emblem' hubcap, which was used through 1950 (without chrome on the 'Standard' models; painted instead).
This cap has been reproduced in both the US and Europe and has been seen on later cars because it is so popular. I have a set on my '52. The 'small emblem' baby moon hubcap was used from 1951 through 1965 and there were several small factory variations along the way, plus a myriad of copies have been introduced. In 1966 and 1967, Volkswagen went to a slotted wheel and flat hubcap. These are still available at the dealer, but very expensive.

In 1968, the wheels went to four bolt and the cap changed again, for the last time. The caps of this period (1951 to 1955 - I think) were somewhat unique in that the recessed portion of the logo had sort of a 'brushed' finish. This finish was obtained by bead blasting the logo prior to chroming. This procedure made the logo stick out and helped the paint adhere.
