A collection of six unique Herbie vehicles featured in the "The Love Bug" series of films will cross the auction block in Indianapolis mid-May.
Mecum Auctions’ Love Bug Collection sale includes five Beetles and a Lancia from various films including 1977’s Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, the 1997 The Love Bug made-for-TV remake, and Disney’s 2005 Herbie Fully Loaded, starring Lindsay Lohan.
There’s an inoperable “junkyard” Herbie prop car; a “demolition derby” Herbie driven by Lohan; and a race-tuned NASCAR-style Herbie, all from the 2005 film.
Also featured are a stock Herbie and a blacked-out “Horace the Hate Bug” from the 1997 movie; and “Giselle,” a 1976 Lancia Scorpion from the ’77 flick.
