Description

Quickly becoming an international superstar, the Volkswagen Beetle made it so far as to have a stint in the limelight. It was in the film “The Love Bug” that she ended up conquering Hollywood. In the Walt Disney film of 1968, she held the main role in the film and raced, stunted and joked her way through them. The film would lend itself to the sympathetic image of this car not quite like any other. Several other films followed, prolonging the superstar’s success.

This 1:18 scale diecast model of the 1973 VW Beetle 1303 No.53 (Herbie) is made by Solido. It measures approximately 22.7 cm in length and features:

Detailed interior and exterior
Openable doors
Rollable wheels
Steerable wheels

Scale Guide

Understanding Scale

The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
