The most famous Volkswagen Beetle is the 1963 Herbie The Love Bug! This car has been a favorite of mine since I was young. Growing up I would collect Herbie merchandise and Beetle diecast cars. I even had green Beetle slippers. Naturally I watched the original Herbie The Love Bug movies, but today we are going to be talking about the most recent Herbie film, Herbie Fully Loaded starring Lindsay Lohan.
Herbie Fully Loaded was about a young girl, Lindsay Lohan, who wanted to be a NASCAR driver like her father. As a gift, her father takes her to a junkyard to pick out a car. She has her eyes on one, but Herbie keeps pushing his way towards her and she ends up leaving with a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle. Herbie always has crazy antics up his sleeve and never fails when helping out a friend.
Over the years, there have been probably more than 50 Beetles used in filming, unfortunately most were destroyed. Multiple on screen Herbies have been sold over the years for some good money. Herbie helped make Volkswagen Beetles not only popular, but the most produced car ever!
We here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center hope you enjoyed another segment from Movie Cars. Thank you so much for following along!
