IIRC, VW Beetle fenders use a fender welt, like American cars in the 1940's.
Their engines were super-easy to rebuild, too. My wife's uncle had a shop that specialized in VW's. They could pull a VW engine, mount it on a rotating frame they had made and sit in one place while rebuilding the motor. Took them about 90 minutes from pulling the motor to having it back in.
We need a vehicle like that, today.

@Mik In the '7os VW put out a full-page print ad, a black and white photograph of the Lunar Module Eagle that took up the whole page including the margins, with a bottom caption that redd, "It's Ugly, But It Gets You There." At the bottom of the page there was a white strip with the VW logo centered. That was the whole ad.
It was incredibly striking.

They were. I was a VW mechanic for a few months. Four bolts to pull the engine. If you had aa lift and a hydraulic floor jack it was even easier.
I wasn't a very good mechanic, but even I could rebuild one.
