Every time I see Herbie, I smile and he just makes me feel like there's a reason to live. I've been going through a ton of depression and whenever I see Herbie, whether he's on TV or in person, he always turns my cloudy days into sunny days. I'm hoping that one day, I'll own a Herbie and do whatever it takes to make him happy. Whenever he's sad, I'll carry him on a nice sunny cruise in the country and when he's mad, I'll calm him down by comforting him. Whenever I get a Herbie, I'll treat him like he's my own son because honestly he'll be the only friend I'll have when I get him cause I have no friends at all. Herbie may be a car but he's a person just like the rest of us. Being human doesn't make you a person, your PERSONality makes you a person. Herbie will forever be the one to make our grey skies clear and our darkness bright. Dean was one lucky man to own Herbie and live his life with the little fella. I know someday I'll get a Herbie and I'll make sure that he feels right at home and make sure he'll never be upset cause I love him like a brother. Those who own a Herbie, be sure to love him until his last mile, cause he the only person who will never hurt you or treat you like trash. Rest in Peace Dean, we all miss you
I love Herbie so much! For some reason I can't explain, Herbie is the only soul on Earth I can say "I love you" to without feeling awkward. He's just so lovable and adorable, I can't wait to own him someday! It's the biggest dream/goal I have for my life. When I do get him I will treat him with lots of love and I will make sure he is happy. About a year ago was when my childhood Herbie obsession became new again. Since then I've always had a special place in my heart for Herbie, and I always will. I know there are still lots of fans out there, but he deserves more love than he gets these days. Herbie is the little car with a big heart!!!
I loved Herbie when I was little, he was my favorite thing to watch, he taught me things that became a part of who I am, how to love, how not to hate, and try to do the things that we love, no matter how impossible it can be
It's nice to know that's not the end of Herbie. Even more so, that Captain Blythe learns a valuable lesson: Nobody fucks with the great and powerful Herbie and gets away with it
4:39 Oh, that is just cruel! I get so emotional over that scene! It's so gut-wrenching! And this kid is watching it, seeing helpless Herbie being thrown overboard! -- BTW, great work on the car. It's so cool to have your own Herbie with you. I wish I knew how to drive so I could have my own Herbie (I'm too much of a scaredy cat to drive, though... plus, I don't wanna crash it).
your video and story is truly inspiring I have a 1973 volkswagen super beetle now it's is a little different then a 63 standard beetle that herbie is but the herbie movies are really what started my love for these cars and got me to get my 73 and this video definitely gives me a strong motivation to get mine back on the road
I could never watch the herbie overboard part, made me cry every time, still does, I’ve loved herbie since I was about 3/4 years old, I’m now 26 I still love bugs, for me the best car ever made and holds a special place in my heart, one day I will have my dream childhood car 🚗❤️
Justin, This is touching and epic. James reaction to the HGB overboard scene is too much. It's like you went back to 1991 and filmed me watching it for the first time. LOL. I love how the Herbie really is a member of the Dueck family! Too bad my Herbie is officially in winter storage. I really need to get Herbie back out in the spring and film some more stuff!
Amazingly fantastic story you have with you're family and how you have this car is so great!❤ I have a 1963 and one day sitting at 33 years old I want to share my love within a family I can have. This car I have to share with my one day hopefully family.
I as a child was totally obsessed by Herbie, he was and still is my hero. What you have done is truly amazing, wish I could do the same. Bless you. I have a tear in my eye ❤. I'm going to visit H2 in London in the next few weeks, I know I'm not going to want to leave him behind ❤
Very good! Congrats man. What an awesome project to have with your family to enjoy. I Loved watching Herbie everyday growing up. I completely understand. As a matter of fact, My great grand father was director of film photography at Disney and filmed Herbie. He worked with Dean Jones and the cast. Herbie is special to me too. I do the same with my boys but with Ford Mustangs.
Great video! I was touched by this. I'm one of those people, like you, who has obsessed over Herbie ever since I was a little kid (younger than five years old). Other people really don't understand it when I try to explain it to them. I hope to one day have a Herbie of my own. :-) Thanks for sharing.
Love see another film movie. Herbie live on Forever. And different colors cars . I truly enjoy watch them. Never know that Mr he past away. Still shock. Truly amazing actor. And 53 car still greatest today. All Ages
It gives me great sadness to know that I am 12 years old to have seen all the herbie movies and to think that when I am 18 I will not be able to buy a vw beetle since they will not exist for those years:, ( (my dream is one of those I saw myself all the herbies departing from 1968 to 2005)
I am 18. I wanted herbie since I was 4. This past month I got a 1963 beelte Ragtop, he's a project car, I have to fix and replace almost everything. but I'm so excited! Wish me luck!
Great job with your Herbie! That is one very authentic Herbie, except for the fake gas cap on the right side. But I can imagine how you feel with your accomplishment of creating a Herbie. I've been there! In 1982, I bought a white 1962 sunroof bug that I made into a Herbie. I bought paperback copies of all four love bug movie books so I can look at the pictures. I did this in order to figure out how to make the stripes and the 53's. There were no "Herbie kits" that one could order online back then.
Herbie was produced before I was born. I was Born in ‘88. But My grandmother had some vhs and I grabbed a vhs that was supposed to have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles recorded on it and seemed like my grandmother recorded The Love Bug and I loved the movie and being 31 yrs old Herbie is still one of my favorite films. Its true many movies today lacks the innocence that Herbie brought to the films. My sons name is gonna be Jim Herbie (Last name) 😂
I watched fully loaded in my childhood too that’s how I got into Herbie… but since the revival of my obsession the older movies have been my favorite and I actually didn’t even know about them as a kid, I was missing out!
I really loved the video! I just can't believe that some one can actually make that kind of a bond like that with a car and I never knew that! Beetles are vary special to me and to other people too! It's there history & personally that connects them to me and those other people. And another cool thing is that this video was released on my 8th birthday!
that is awesome! I agree with herbie is the best. yes If i had chance I would trade my trucks in just to have the honor of making a herbie for my wife and kids.
Lol what a coincidence it’s 8 minutes and 53 second long. 5+3 =8 Herbies number is 53, and 8 is Ocho, which is what the kid in herbie goes bananas calls him. XD
@Brandley Actually I chose these songs partially cause you can hum the herbie theme to each of them perfectly. ;) If it wasn't illegal I'd overlap some electric guitar overtop of them to the sound of the "Herbie theme". ;) Oh well.
Hey Justin, first time seeing your vid, great job! At 57, I saw the original movie at a drive-in theater. Your video brought back found memories of my dad thx. Question; are the plates just on for your video or do you have an address in CA.? Maybe you can't answer that in case someone from ICBC is watching, LOL! ...so never mind. Will look out for Herbie next time I'm in Kelowna. 😊
Where can I get a Herbie?! I've wanted one so bad ever sense I was 10 years when I saw Herbie fully loaded. If u ever want to sell that car, I'd love to have it
your so lucky. I've a close friend that has loved herbie sinse the late 70s he was born with a lot of birth defects. he can never get employment. he is so smart but can never finish projects hes to ill. so sad. check out channel 53
Sad fact about the Herbie they sent off the cruise ship they never found that one in real life never recovered people say the salt water took its toll and sank it because although the volkswagen bug can float on water for 72 hours 3 days being in the ocean was not built for that
Hello, I grew up with Herbie movie and your movie has really excited me. What I'd like to get on your beetle. It 's wonderful the beetle and your children. Hello
I shared a link 1 comment down to my slideshow film shot in Jesmond, Clinton, Watch Lake, Lac La Hache, 150 mile and Horsefly BC all about abandonment and destruction of vintage VW's.
Ok quick question how did you get the fake gas cap and the fog light on the front of herbie I'm trying to find them online but I can't find them anywhere because when I get older I want to make a herbie and why not start collecting the parts for a Monte Carlo version of him as soon as possible but if you can help me on this quest it will be greatly appreciated
DrivingHabits there’s no reason at all why you can’t slap some stripes and numbers on your 82 and call it Herbie. People do it all the time. What matters is that it brings you and others joy. Post your project progress on the fb Herbie the love bug fan base if you do. Cheers.

he did better than i did watching herbie walk the plank as a kid. i cried my eyes out lol
4:55
My exact reaction when i saw that part in Herbie Goes Bananas.
I loved Herbie when I was little, he was my favorite thing to watch, he taught me things that became a part of who I am, how to love, how not to hate, and try to do the things that we love, no matter how impossible it can be
OMG 4:40 I REACTED THE SAME WAY JAMES DID WHEN I WAS A KID!! I cried so much seeing Herbie get thrown overboard!!😭😭
It's nice to know that's not the end of Herbie. Even more so, that Captain Blythe learns a valuable lesson: Nobody fucks with the great and powerful Herbie and gets away with it
I was inconsolable when I watched it as a kid and again a few nights ago 😭😭😭😭😭
Well your forgetting something, vw bugs actually float.
@@jamessommer6077 Then why didn't Herbie?🥺
Herbie can only float for so long, and being upside down probably didn’t help
4:39 Oh, that is just cruel! I get so emotional over that scene! It's so gut-wrenching! And this kid is watching it, seeing helpless Herbie being thrown overboard!
--
BTW, great work on the car. It's so cool to have your own Herbie with you.
I wish I knew how to drive so I could have my own Herbie (I'm too much of a scaredy cat to drive, though... plus, I don't wanna crash it).
Herbie has endless traits to his personality that we as people wish we had
Have you down for the day and then I will get the
As Jim Douglas said
4:50....i cry every time....like now....
your video and story is truly inspiring I have a 1973 volkswagen super beetle now it's is a little different then a 63 standard beetle that herbie is but the herbie movies are really what started my love for these cars and got me to get my 73 and this video definitely gives me a strong motivation to get mine back on the road
My first word was Herbie and i grew up with beetle's and Herbie in particular
I could never watch the herbie overboard part, made me cry every time, still does, I’ve loved herbie since I was about 3/4 years old, I’m now 26 I still love bugs, for me the best car ever made and holds a special place in my heart, one day I will have my dream childhood car 🚗❤️
Exited for herbie reboot on Disney XD. The protagonist is named Landon just like me, and I have obsessed over this car for a decade, and I’m 15
What a perfect way to express the love of Herbie!,your never to old to love this car and I am on the search for a Herbie as well,have fun.
Wow, lots of people want a Herbie just like me. It would be funny if all the 63 bugs were Herbiefied some day because of all of us fans!
Justin, This is touching and epic. James reaction to the HGB overboard scene is too much. It's like you went back to 1991 and filmed me watching it for the first time. LOL. I love how the Herbie really is a member of the Dueck family! Too bad my Herbie is officially in winter storage. I really need to get Herbie back out in the spring and film some more stuff!
Well since you have herbie in storage,I hope you threw a warm blanket over him so he doesn't freeze!
Lol
Herbie is one piece of art and you have it well done man
Amazingly fantastic story you have with you're family and how you have this car is so great!❤ I have a 1963 and one day sitting at 33 years old I want to share my love within a family I can have. This car I have to share with my one day hopefully family.

Awesome to see you keeping Herbie alive .always loved the movires and still do to this day.❤
😊😢 I’m glad I’ve come across this video❤❤ thank you for keeping HERBIE alive❤
Herbie is awesome he is my favorite whenever I see a VW Bug I always say there goes a herbie😉
What a wonderful clip!
I guess I have to do a video of my Love bug too. Great video, Justin :)
It was great meeting you today !! My husband RJ and I were so excited you were here. ☺️
I am 18. I wanted herbie since I was 4. This past month I got a 1963 beelte Ragtop, he's a project car, I have to fix and replace almost everything. but I'm so excited! Wish me luck!
Wow, what a great Herbie Replika! Coool Video! :D I love this VW Bug since I saw the first movie "the love bug"
Great job with your Herbie! That is one very authentic Herbie, except for the fake gas cap on the right side. But I can imagine how you feel with your accomplishment of creating a Herbie.

Cool. Would love to see some pictures of it. Btw: watch Herbie goes to Monte Carlo and let me know if you spot the gas cap on the right side there.
I love HERBIE!
I'm Raul Benitez from Facebook, Just suscribed to your channel!
Such a cute story! ^_^
love Herbie wish I had one .
Always when i see the scene when they drop Herbie in the water in need to cry

Amazing job on the car: instantly recognized the province in the background, too! So cool to see such an amazingly done replica so close to home :)
Awesome some day I would love to drive my own Herbie😋😋😋😋
Wow. Nice clean Herbie 😀

The Dtmtailsthefoxxx Rod guy Started of real bad, my friend!

Where did you get the instrumental "I've found a new friend"? I definitely love it. Heck I didn't even know there was an instrumental release
Where can I get a Herbie?! I've wanted one so bad ever sense I was 10 years when I saw Herbie fully loaded. If u ever want to sell that car, I'd love to have it
Plus they sent the volkswagen bug into the ocean upside down
Masterpiece
Happy 50th Anniversary!.

i want to built a herbie 'replica' but i have a '82 beetle. I know the parts look different but why shouldn't i just go ahead?

Justin Dueck Thank you Justin
Justin Dueck can you give me a link to the page?
DrivingHabits look up Herbie the love bug fan club and click join. An administrator will then add you and you can share your project there.
Piz tell me where you got those stripes
U Radio control herbie
Who else got really annoyed that the gas cap is outside of the car not inside of the car like in the movie
