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 custom-built sedan from the 1966-67 Green Hornet TV series, driven on screen by Bruce Lee's character Kato. Built by customizer George Barris, the real car was a heavily modified 1966 Chrysler Imperial with retractable gadgetry and an unmistakably menacing black finish.

Long before Bruce Lee became a household name in feature films, this exact car was giving audiences their first look at his screen presence, sliding through frame behind the wheel of a customized Imperial.

AUTOart's Premium Detail on a Custom Build

George Barris built the Black Beauty from a stock 1966 Chrysler Imperial, extending the hood, adding a distinctive grille treatment, and fitting retractable gadget features for the show, and AUTOart's premium diecast tier suits reproducing that level of custom bodywork precisely because a heavily modified car depends entirely on getting its unique proportions right rather than matching a stock factory reference. The deep black finish shows real paint depth under direct light, a fitting choice for a car whose whole screen presence relied on looking sinister and formal at once. Panel gaps around the extended hood and reworked grille sit tighter than mass-market alternatives, a genuine point of difference given how much custom bodywork this subject involves compared to a standard production sedan.

A Genuine Piece of 1960s TV Car Culture

The Green Hornet ran for one season in 1966-67, but the Black Beauty and Bruce Lee's performance as Kato both outlasted the show's original run in cultural memory, feeding directly into the custom car culture that George Barris helped define across multiple TV and film projects of the era.

A Standout for TV and Film Car Collecting

This Black Beauty rewards a collector focused on custom or TV-and-film car history, a category where genuine build provenance matters as much as the underlying production car.
