I've loved the "Herbie" movies since I was a kid. Since then I've always wanted one over the years. It mainly be on a back burner until Herbie : Fully Loaded came out a couple of years back and my 5 year old son fell in love with him also. Since then we've got most of the movies on DVD and numerous die cast cars and other collectibles. So it's renewed my goal to acquire one of these cars in the near future. I'd prefer a 60's vintage but I'm not too picky as long it's a vintage beetle. I remember these being everywhere when I was a kid and was perhaps my first dream car.
Herbie was originally a 1963 Volkswagen Model 117 Type1 with Deluxe Sunroof option. Always sporting a California license plate OFP 857. His color is L87 Pearl White sporting red, white and blue stripes with the number 53 on all four sides.

I found this fine example at a local cruise night.
