1963 Volkswagen Beetle “Herbie”

Herbie, the Love Bug is a sentient 1963 Volkswagen Beetle which has been featured in several Walt Disney motion pictures starting with the 1969 feature film The Love Bug. It is the protagonist of all of his movies and has a mind of its own, being capable of driving itself and often becoming a serious contender in auto racing competitions. Throughout most of the franchise, it is distinguished by red, white, and blue racing stripes from the front to the back bumper, a pearl white body, a racing-style number "53" on the front luggage compartment lid, doors, engine lid, and a yellow-on-black 1963 California license plate with the registration "OFP 857".
