Condition

Built for a TVLAND cable channel Promotion to resemble the Star Chief featured in 'I Love Lucy'. Very good paint, chrome and stainless. Good upholstery. Orderly but dusty underbody and chassis. Flaky chrome on instrument cluster and steering wheel. Scuffed window sill mouldings, window frames and blistered trim paint. Ron Pratte collection.

Market commentary

This replica of a TV car brought as much as a good TV featured General Lee and is far more money than the actual car it brought. It was a better value when Ron Pratte bought it here at WestWorld in 2004 for $49,680.
