Item Description
Glossy 8x10" photo shows Van Williams as Green Hornet and Bruce Lee as Kato posed in front of Green Hornet's iconic vehicle - Black Beauty. Promotional text at bottom margin includes "Designed & Built By Dean Jeffries - Automotive Styling - 3077 - Cahuenga - Hollywood 28, Calif. HO 2-0440." Jeffries is a custom vehicle designer, fabricator, stuntman and stunt coordinator for motion pictures and television programs. He did paint work for James Dean and many Indy cars. His work also includes the Monkeemobile, the moon buggy that James Bond steals in "Diamonds Are Forever" and the trolley from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Jeffries worked on the design and initial fabrication for the Batmobile for the 1966 "Batman" TV series, but the studio wanted the car faster than he could deliver and he turned the project over to George Barris. Photo has moderate handling wear w/pinholes/creases/staining at corners. VG.
