About the Chrysler Imperial Black Beauty Green Hornet TV Series AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Chrysler Imperial Black Beauty reproduces the customised car built for the 1966-67 Green Hornet television series, based on a genuine Chrysler Imperial chassis dressed with rocket-tube front fascias and hidden gadgetry. A distinctive piece for a TV or film car collection built around genuine screen vehicles.

Custom car builder Dean Jeffries transformed a Chrysler Imperial into the Black Beauty for television, adding the rocket-like front fascia, hidden weaponry and rolling scanner lights that made it as memorable as the show's masked hero.

AUTOart's Detail Level on a Genuinely Customised Car

Reproducing a heavily modified show car accurately means capturing details that never existed on any standard-production Imperial: the extended, rocket-tube-lined front end, the retractable weapon housings along the flanks, and the roof-mounted scanning lights that swept the road ahead in the show's opening sequences. AUTOart's reputation for chasing this kind of accuracy at 1:18 suits a subject this specific, since a generic Imperial casting simply would not capture what makes the Black Beauty recognisable. Black paint over that heavily customised bodywork gives the car real menace.

The Black Beauty's Place in TV Car History

The Green Hornet ran for a single season in 1966 and 1967, but the Black Beauty outlived the show's original broadcast run by becoming one of the most recognisable custom cars in television history, helped along by the series' brief overlap with the Batman craze of the same period. Building it on a real Chrysler Imperial chassis kept the car grounded in genuine American luxury car engineering even as its bodywork went in a wildly different direction.
