The 1963 Volkswagen Beetle, famously known as “Herbie,” is a beloved character in the Herbie film series, starting with “The Love Bug” in 1968. The Beetle was already one of the most popular cars in the world when it made its way to the silver screen. But there was something about Herbie that made the car even more memorable. First and foremost the unique paint job complete with the racing stripes and wheels made it look unlike any other Beetle on the road (via Auto Evolution).

Herbie wasn’t your average Beetle, and moviegoers fell in love with the car. There were quite a few examples of Herbie that were put into production because the car was put through all kinds of stunts. Nevertheless, this was a unique ride that made a mark on the film industry forever.
