LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hot wheels
While reading my March 2018 issue of South Carolina Living, I was delighted to see Barrie Clark’s letter about his Ecto-1 Ghostbusters replica (a response to the January 2018 profile of Dr. Phillip Latham and his replica Batmobiles). I, too, have a TV car, except mine is an original vehicle used to film the 1966 Green Hornet show. It’s called the Black Beauty and is one of two cars made for the production.
Back in the early 1990s, the other Black Beauty was restored and put on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. I remembered hearing about a second car, which I tracked down and found in Sturgis, Michigan. It was owned by Ms. Opal Wall, a true car lady. She had purchased the car 10 years prior to my call and, for the most part, kept it in storage. I purchased the car from her in June 2001 and began an 8-year restoration process to bring it back to its original TV appearance. The car now resides in the Upstate of South Carolina. While displaying it at car shows, I became good friends with Hollywood customizer Dean Jeffries and the original Green Hornet himself, actor Van Williams.
Your readers can find the full history of the car at theblackbeauty.com.
