Herbie - 1963 Volkswagen Beetle Ragtop Sedan

The Volkswagen Beetle has several firsts to its credit. It was the first European car to sell a million vehicles in a year, and more cars have been sold than any other individual model. The Volkswagen (which literally means "people's car") Beetle, was indeed one of the most popular cars to be ever produced. More endearing and human than probably any other car to be made, the choice of the Beetle as "Herbie - The car with feelings" could not have been more appropriate.

Herbie made his first appearance in "The Love Bug", which released in 1968, and was one of the most successful Walt Disney Films.

Love BugThe Beetle featured in three of its sequels - Herbie Rides Again, Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo and Herbie Goes Bananas. The car has numerous gadgets like doors that open automatically, and gears and pedals in the rear.
