Another piece of my childhood, Herbie the Love Bug! I've actually been noodling with a script idea for a Herbie film! Check this: http://mad9scientist.deviantart.com/#/d2yeq91
I loved these movies as a kid, and I still love them today. The thought of a sentient car appealed to me as a child, and I don't know why. I watch these movies now and they bring back the warm feelings they used to bring to me when I was young. They almost bring tears of sentimental joy to my eyes.
I guess as we get older, those feelings of magic and joy seems to vanish only to be replaced by responsibility and reason. Growing up can be a drag, but thanks to Herbie, I'll always have a piece of that magic to warm and soften my now cold, hardened heart...
Oops! Didn't mean to turn this into a therapy session!

I know how you feel. I was a Herbie fan myself when I was a child, as well as the "Wonderbug" segments of the Kroft Supershow. I enjoyed the wonderful fantasy idea of cars being alive enough to think of their own, and sometimes drive on their own.
Seriously, your portriat of Herbie is rather nice, quaint and detailed.
