The special edition consisted of well-optioned 1977 Super Beetle Convertible with the Woody Allen and Diane Keaton characters from the movie poster on a decal on the rear quarter panel. Also included was a plastic sandwich in the glovebox, a reference to this scene [...] Unfortunately for VW, a clerical error sent all 2500 Annie Hall edition Beetles to dealerships in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and the Dakotas, where only 15 were sold.
