Correct.
Craned onto 2nd story as an exhibit during the international car show. Then crane lifted back out after the show.
The '69 to '73 Things had gas heaters and no side raised air intakes. '74 to '78 switched to heat exchangers and needed the "dust free" air to blow the heated air into the cabin. Thus, VW installed the "ear muffs" or "Hamster Cheeks" to get the air intake up out of the dust created by the rear wheels. Only '73 and '74 models were imported to the US.
