[T3] VW Transparent Factory

[charles tupper]

Was it a 111 or a 113?  When VW decided to offer the 113 (Deluxe) and the 111 
(Standard) sedans ... the 111s came with a lot less "bells and whistles" ... no 
chrome around the windows, a single push horn button in the center, cloth seats 
... a cheapo version of the Bug.  Could be the 111 had a non-locking gas door. 
 Jim?  Do you recall?

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.
