I just bought a 62 ragtop bug. It is a two fold top. What years were the two fold produces as opposed to the three fold

Were there any preference to one or the other and why.

There was a fender that came with teh car that had no turn signal or turn signal holes. I took the paint off to see it it was welded up and it was not. I have never seen a fender without turn signal holes on top. Is this some early version?

two Fold started in 1956 and 3 fold is Pre 1955 The fender is a Euro Fender, Like Used with semaphores.

or the fender could just be an aftermarket fender. They do not come with the holes for the turn signals.

Thanks for the info. I see quite a few three folds. They must be retro fits. Is the opening size any different.
