happy grumpy Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Just as the re appearing hub caps, here is the magic beetle that seemed to follow the charger and the mustang in the streets of San Francisco. Movie editing aside, here is a rendition of the green bug as it appeared in the movie. The plate would not be correct as I could not make the number but a california plate will do. The color is a little lighter than the movie car but , hey ,close enough. thanks for looking, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 There were several cars like that. Mostly Pontiacs you kept seeing, but I think there was also at least one Impala that kept popping up too. The model looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Great looking stock VW. This little car got almost as much screen time as the Charger and the Mustang during the chase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
