Herbie: The Love Bug (1968) was da bomb when I was a kid.
Had the story album (above) and the first two films were set in San Francisco (that was cool). Herbie Rides Again (1974) had Helen Hayes in a funky Cable Car thing and I remember that Stefanie Powers was super cute.
Had posters, toys, tiny cars (that I’d take to the mechanic to fix when I broke them. Really). And I once got in trouble for painting a 53 on my mom’s old Volkswagen hatchback (I didn’t care that it wasn’t a beetle. It had a VW on it). I didn’t stop there, I did something similar to a neighbor’s new Lincoln Town Car lift kit project for which I got in way more trouble for.
Here’s the website of the ultimate Herbie fan (and Disney employee) Hugh Chitwood. Found these funky images (below) at his site; they were used as promos for the Fully Loaded (2005) Lohan/Justin Long/Michael Keaton/NASCAR comeback.
Not bad for a car that was originally designed by dis guy.
