This 1963 Herbie was born Ruby Red, and was painted white inside and out for the grand opening of Walt Disney World
in 1971. It's the only known car to be titled to Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida.
It's the the fifth-oldest Herbie, unrestored, still 6 volt, and nearly all original.

I know it's not a Herbie, but a bit of a tribute.

I looked around for that decal once but didn't find it. I'm sure it's somewhere now. That's a fun movie as well! In one of the scenes near the end Herbie has a 1967 rear bumper. We just happened to end up with one on ours. It was just in real good shape and I didn't know about the difference at the time. So now I go around saying I did it because of that ! Lol
One of my favorite shots from this year.
