Another oval window Beetle in "Bullitt" (1968) seen during the exciting car chase. This Diamond Green ('56/'57 color) parked at right in the top photo is viewed from the black '68 Dodge Charger driven by Bill Hickman. The Beetle is parked near the top of the hill adjacent to the old pickup. The bottom photo is from Bullitt's '68 Mustang Fastback following the Charger, but the Beetle is now parked halfway down the hill. Or was there indeed a 2nd oval Beetle up by the pickup? You can see the back of the pickup farther up. Front of a dark blue '67 Beetle parked one down. This street was seen in 2 separate chase sequences a few minutes apart.
"The Organization" (1971).
German movie "Ihr schoenster Tag" (her nicest day), 1962. |

German movie "Fruehling in Berlin" (1957; spring in Berlin). Police Beetle in foreground, with a red Messerschmitt KR-200 parked in background.
Famous Cafe Kranzler is along the Ku'damm main street, abbreviation for Kurfuerstendamm. The cafe would be renovated a year later, with its iconic round rotunda added to the roof.

I've been watching a series on Netflix called Dark, where people time travel. It's set in Germany, and in one part, people travel back to 1953. There's a beetle that the police drive, has no front signals and the correct bumpers, but it's a square window instead of an oval. At one point there's a brief shot of a vw bus, and I think it's a bay window! |

I just saw the 2023 movie "Ferrari" in a local theater. As Mr. Ferrari parks his Peugeot 403 sedan in the first few minutes of the movie, he pulls in front of an oval window Beetle. |
