Movie star car 1967 VW Beetle makes first appearance in Vancouver
by DRIVING

Volkswagen will be displaying its full lineup of new vehicles at show, but it’s an older model VW that will be drawing crowds, young and old.

For the nostalgic or the movie-buff in all of us, making its first-ever appearance at this year’s event is Bumblebee, one of eight vehicles used in the 2018 motion picture of the same name.

Older fans of the 1980’s Transformer cartoon series will remember the Autobot transforming into a vintage Volkswagen Bug. In the 2018 ‘Bumblebee’ movie, a prequel to the entire Transformers’ movie franchise, Bumblebee returned to his roots as a cute old yellow 1967 Volkswagen Beetle.

The 2019 Vancouver International Auto Show runs until Sunday, March 24th at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
