I LOVE "Herbie Generation" 1958-early 1964 bugs and esp sunroof bugs. I owned 4 early '60s (a '61, 2 sunroof '62s and a '63) bugs and one non-QT '66 back in the day. My dad also owned a ceramic green 1960, the one-off year for that color (see my thumbnail). Your '62 bug is one of only two years of bugs that qualify to be made into a Herbie without any (significant) external modifications. Well OK, the real Herbie is a '63, which did not have a Wolfsburg crest. Factoid: 1963 was the first year for the optional $35 pop-out rear side windows. It's also the first year for the white leatherette with black dots headliner. Though many earlier ones (like yours) had their original torn up cloth "mohair" replaced with the '63 type. To turn a '58 to '61 bug into a Herbie only requires installing "High Heel" ('62-'67) taillights to replace their original "snowflake" taillights. Even your avg moviegoer is going to notice that. But other differences (no gas gauge/ivory steering wheel with black horn button/"dagger" door handles/"fat" speedo needle are not going to get noticed or cared about, esp if those shots are very brief in fast moving sequences. But one thing they will notice is that you're missing the "53"s on the hood and rear deck lid, as well as the stripes on the sunroof.
