VW•F•V
Volkswagens in Film & Video 
cinema, 
TV programs, 
commercials, 
music videos and in other media. 
The classic Volkswagen inspires different feelings for different people. When asked about what attracts us to these simple vehicles, we sometimes quote the same philosophy as the Harley-Davidson enthusiast; "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand."
This website celebrates the inclusion of our favorite cars in all types of media; whether by design, as in Disney's 'Herbie' series of movies; or by accident, like the quick glimpse of a Transporter behind Sgt. Joe Friday (Dan Aykroyd) as he climbs the Parker Center steps during the title sequence of Dragnet (1987).
Even though VW stopped importing air-cooled vehicles to the United States almost 30 years ago, they still show up in contemporary works. One of the most recent is a yellow sedan on the car lot next to Bumblebee in Michael Bay's live-action remake of Transformers (2007). You may recall that Bumblebee in the original 1984-1988 animated series was a VW.
I hope that as you explore VW•F•V, you find at least one thing that makes you smile; or if you're not a VeeDub enthusiast, that you find one thing that gives you some insight into what makes the classic Volkswagen so special.
