The museum is home to some amazing and pretty unique Beetles:
Herbie the Love Bug That’s right! The Orlando Auto Museum is home to not one, but two of everyone’s favorite Beetle, Herbie the Love Bug. This red, white and blue 1963 Volkswagen Beetle is adorned with the racing number "53" on its doors, a hood-mounted cargo rack, and a sunroof that can open and close on its own.
Starring in six films from 1968 to 2005 and a TV show in the 1980s, Herbie has become an iconic symbol of automotive charm and personality for every generation.
Baja Bug VW Beetles have long been associated with the hippie culture of the late 1960s, and the Baja Beetle is one groovy example of the Beetle’s adventurous and free-spirited legacy.
This green Beetle is custom designed with orange flames and features a modified suspension, raised ground clearance, and larger, knobby tires, making it suitable for tackling rugged terrains and desert environments.
Hot Rod Bug This red Beetle hot rod embodies the fusion of retro style with modern performance, offering a thrilling driving experience and a nod to the golden era of American hot rodding. After its striking red color, the most noticeable feature is the lowered roof, which gives the car a sleek and aggressive profile to create a more aerodynamic and streamlined appearance.
The lowered stance combined with upgraded suspension and wider wheels enhances the car's performance and handling capabilities.
