1973 Volkswagen Beetle Herbie

Description

If you like to have fun with an old car, this 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Herbie the Love Bug Replica is for you! Herbie started his film career as a cute 1963 Volkswagen Beetle in the 1968 Disney film, 'The Love Bug'. Herbie had a mind of his own, could 'talk' and was capable of driving himself. He was also a serious contender in auto racing competitions. Throughout most of his film and TV appearances, Herbie is distinguished by red, white and blue racing stripes running from front to back bumpers, a racing-style number '53' on the front luggage compartment lid, doors, and engine lid. A simulated soft sunroof, early-style bumpers, a rear spoiler and chrome headlight visors add to the Herbie vibe this great little car has.
