Story of Herbie

Herbie's origins are firmly established in The Love Bug . Before being passed to down-on-his-luck race car driver, Jim Douglas (Dean Jones ), Herbie was bought by San Francisco socialite Mrs. Van Luit for her upstairs maid. However, Herbie was returned the following day, because the maid had been having problems with him. Douglas has an earnest appreciation for what he deems "a decent piece of machinery" and eventually purchases the unassuming "little car."

In Herbie Rides Again , after several successful races with Herbie, Douglas decides to enter foreign racing circuit, while his mechanic friend Tennessee is residing in Tibet to help his ailing guru . Before Tennessee departs, he leaves Herbie in the care of his great aunt, the widowed Mrs. Steinmetz (Helen Hayes ).

By Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo , Douglas returns from Europe and enters Herbie in the Trans-France Race , stretching from Paris to Monte Carlo . This time around, Douglas recruits mechanic friend Wheeley Applegate (Don Knotts ) to assist, particularly when lovesick Herbie falls "hood over wheels" in love with a Lancia Scorpion named Giselle. Unfortnately, Giselle is driving by competitive female driver Diane (Julie Sommars ). Herbie also finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time when the stolen Etoile de Joie diamond is stashed in his gas tank.

In Herbie Goes Bananas , Douglas has decided to retire from racing after the Monte Carlo race and pass Herbie onto his nephew, Pete Stancheck (Stephen W. Burns ). Stancheck has plans to enter Herbie in the Brazil Grand Primeo, based in Mexico . In the interim, Herbie befriends an orphan named Paco, and together, wreak havoc onboard cruise ship the Sun Princess , resulting in overzealous ship Captain Blythe (Harvey Korman ) to force Herbie to "walk the plank." Herbie is dropped into the sea, becomes a rustbucket as a result of immersion in the salt water, and is eventually rescued by Paco and disguised as a taxi. The two stop a gang of con artistes from stealing ancient Inca gold. Paco gives Herbie the nickname "Ocho", the Spanish word for the number 8, purportedly because the digits 5 and 3 in Herbie's racing number, 53 were added together (5+3=8). At the end of the film Paco says, "Five and three are eight, anyone knows that."

After the Mexico debacle, Douglas takes Herbie back and opens a driving school in Herbie the Matchmaker .

Herbie then passed from owner to owner until he was bought by Maggie Payton in Herbie: Fully Loaded .
