You can trace back from that late windshield to the pre-60 version where the contour is the same but the glass shrinks to give a more generous rounded edge. It doesn't really help, and it's like looking out the mouth of a cave. Things really didn't change until the 1303 Superbeetle. That windshield is maybe worth 4mph top speed at Bonneville.

I don't know if I trust that picture though. If there're those inward rolling vortexes off the drip rail, why don't the smoke streams roll into cones?
