What inspired the producer of The Love Bug to give Herbie number 53?
Answer A baseball player
Producer Bill Walsh chose number 53 in homage to Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Don Drysdale, who threw 58 2⁄3 consecutive scoreless innings in 1968. The Love Bug was a smash hit and made its automotive star a cinematic icon.
