They spend time with each sick youngster answering questions about their sport, posing for pictures and handing out the distinctive Operation Herbie® buttons, assorted memorabilia provide by our sponsors. Herbie has brought a smile to what can sometimes be a very traumatic time, not only for the child concerned but also for the families involved.

They will vary with year of bug as some have larger rear vents  the hood 53 is the largest and the doors are 2" smaller than the hood with the deck 2" smaller than the door depending on year. I run a full servis  custom graphic shop and have made up many herbie kits I would be more than happy to answer any qustions you can email me at. tnt_grafix@ yahoo.com  or springers1@verizon.net

I was curious about what it would look like too. We discussed it on the lovebugfans.com forum, if you want to check out the photo. Here's the link to that page:

The gumballs for the doors & rear lid are the same size, the front lid is larger and numbers spaced differently. The blue is a lighter color as well.

Sounds like a lot of work.  I have seen a Herbie that was painted and the gentleman who did it certainly took a lot of time doing it.  Of course he made a mess spraying it into the vent in the back of the car (in my opinion) and the decals look a little better from that stand point.

But if you need measurements from the original decals I could do it for you.  Just let me know.

Wendyful (do you make these quality decals and stripes?)  I'm looking for the "53" gumball decals in different sizes for my '74 bug one 16.5 inch for the hood, two at 14 and one at only 10 inches in diameter for the rear deck lid as to not be affected by the grille.  Is it possible to get these sizes in the quality vinyl?  Thanks.  Rennie

All logos were removed from the car - even had plain hubcaps - but there was a slipup in at least one interior scene (where car sections were always used). You notice in that movie Herbie was always called "the little car" and never a VW. I guess that was before VW trademarked the overall shape of the Beetle. Walt was well known for not wanting to pay other companies for using their products. By the second movie VW had been helped so much they must have wanted Disney to use VW - so then the logos are there and they even refer to Herbie as a VW.

I have a guy who can make them for you.  He is great.

Gregg Carr has his decals made here in Buffalo, and they are printed.  Meaning the color is PRINTED on white vinyl.  So if it gets scratched it will show white through.  Also in my experience the decals fade, and can run in certain conditions.

The ones I had made are ALL color vinyl all the way through.  You would just have to tell him what colors you want what components. Voila. simple.

Cooperative effort there.

http://www.vwtrademarks.com/vw.aspx?file=vwlicense2.htm
http://www.vwtrademarks.com/vw.aspx?file=vwguide.htm

They have an email address that I'd bet could serve to answer your specific questions:    VWTrademarks@vw.com.

FAO Wendyful,  That would be brilliant if you could get the measurements for me. I don't know if i can get the decals made as stickers with the worn look [in green, black and yellow etc].
