HERBIE - THE LOVE BUG, NUMBER 53 Since 1968's The Love Bug, Herbie the Volkswagen Beetle has been the most famous car in Disney history: a white Bug with red and blue racing stripes and a big number 53. This 12-inch design puts the 53 roundel front and center, with Herbie himself racing across the bottom. A fun piece for Disney fans, VW enthusiasts, and anyone who grew up rooting for the little car that could. BUILT LIKE THE ORIGINALS - BECAUSE IT IS Real kiln-fired porcelain enamel on heavy-gauge steel, with hand-punched mounting holes and the weight, gloss, and depth of color that only true porcelain has.

Set one beside a vintage original and you cannot tell the difference. We are proud of that.
