what would you say is the quintessential year/ model of Volkswagen?

I personally like the '68-'72 model beetle/ super beetle ('71 and '72). I don't have any experience with older than that vintage.

1964 Bug, I owned one for five years and drove it everywhere. It had a 1200 SP in there too, what a car!
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
