DynaMike ◊ 2010-06-14 15:19	But in America rather Sun-Roof Sedan.

"The Green VW used by Schuyler was two Herbie cars from The Love Bug: one was the vehicle carried by Tang Wu's Chinese Camp students, (this was a gutted car and a rubber truck tire tube was placed under the passenger door, and when inflated suddenly, it would tip the car over, this car used in the scene where AJ Arno rams it). The other car was used in the scenes with Schuyler driving it on a flat tire. (The Art Dept. painted the car green, and dusted it to give a look of neglect. When the sunroof is open, the original Herbie Pearl white paint job under the tarp sunroof can be seen where the green was not painted.)"

antp ◊ 2023-03-01 08:18	Received via e-mail: Quote The car used in these scenes is know as the "Cut Rear Apron Herbie". It had its rear apron trimmed off when they used it for The Love Bug (1969) so it could do wheelies. While the character Herbie is a 63 VW Bug, this VW Bug isn't, this is proven by the VIN number. My friend knows it and has it written down, he said while he need to re-check the notes, it is either a 1960 or 1961 VW Bug, they changed the tail lights when it played Herbie.
