Description: Herbie (born 1963 in Wolfsburg, Germany) is a fictional character, an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle, which is featured in several Disney motion pictures starting with the 1968 film, The Love Bug. The car has a mind of its own and is capable of driving itself, and is a serious contender in auto racing competitions. Herbie is distinguished by red, white and blue racing stripes from front to back bumper and a racing-style number "53" on the front hood, doors, and engine lid.

TexasAndroid's picture I remember when the new movie was coming out, there was a contest somewhere to win one of these things. The contest announcement specifically said that there were dozens of them used in the making of the movie (the recent remake), and that the one being given away was one of these.

Anyway, the point is that there were quite a few of these used for the movie, not just one.

milwhcky's picture There are decal kits on the market to turn any Beetle into a 'Herbie'. Note - the one in the Streetview scene is missing the red and blue stripes on the roof and the rear.
