(I'll allow steel shortages in postwar Germany are problematic feel free to ignore them.) I don't expect any of the water-cooled models would be delayed, but the Type 3 might have been. IMO, all the above options would have meant greater VW sales postwar & into the '70s. Would more conservative styling have made a difference? That is, notchback rather than slantback? Would a panel/delivery have helped? If so, how much? Would a high-production 4-seat cabrio have helped? If so, how much? So, was it possible the Beetle could have sold even better if something like the Rometch 4dr had been a standard production model? Would it have outsold the 2dr? If so, by how much? However, the company only offered a 2dr coupe & limited production cabrio. The VW Beetle sold really well, considering. Inspired by a response here, & by a thought I've had before.
