Drive Safely: Driving me insane since July!

[SMG]

When I was on vacation in the US this year I spotted this Herbie at a Dunkin Donuts in CT.

When I saw it, it struck me funny, I had seen this Beetle before... In a magazine maybe? Online? I wasn't sure but I snapped a picture to try and figure it out later.

So anyway, since July I have, every so often, gone looking for the picture where I had seen this old Beetle before. It's the "Drive Safely" tag that I know I've seen on a Herbie before.

I've been meaning to post this up for months, but I never got to it, I just thought of it today, and as silly as it is, I really want to know.

Thanks Guys!

In ze olden Days of yore, service stations had attendants who served you. Mobil (yes, Exxon Mobil now) used to market themselves with a red horse. Using Google, I find that it's called "Pegasus"

The tag must have been from those days. 53 = Herbie. Apparently a famous movie star.

But, I know I've seen a Herbie WITH that tag on it from a picture of a car show or something.

I want to prove to myself that I had indeed seen that car before, I remember squinting to read the text on that horse tag.
