Here is a car I actually remember as a toy when I was a kid. Do you recognize it?

It's the Black Beauty from the Green Hornet!

It was a lot like the Batmobile because it had a whole arsenal of hidden weapons. This show was on so long ago I can't remember any of the details.

I can tell you who drove the Black Beauty, though! It was Bruce Lee, who played Kato! If you don't know who Bruce Lee is, crawl back into your cave!

Here is a shot of another Black Beauty that is part of the permanent collection at the museum.

Speaking of Batman, his car wasn't for sale, but two of his Batcycles were!

Batman even made a guest appearance at the auction! Too groovy!

This car was used in the third season of the hit series, Knightrider, and is the only Super Pursuit mode car left. The car was re-converted to simulate the Pursuit car that was used in the Knightrider made for television movie (1994) and for exhibition and promotional purposes. For $60,000 you could have pretended you are David Hasselhoff.
