4. What was the name of one of the most recognizable race cars of all time? Hint: A little VW #53. Herbie is an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle, a fictional character that is featured in several Disney motion pictures starting with the 1968 feature film The Love Bug. The car has a mind of its own and is capable of driving itself, and is a serious contender in auto racing competitions. Throughout most of the franchise, Herbie is distinguished by red, white and blue racing stripes from front to back bumper and a racing-style number "53" on the front hood, doors, and engine lid.  2pts jeremy341a |
