Trendle and Fran Striker, with input from radio director James Jewell, in 1936. The Green Hornet became a television series shown on ABC in the 1966\u00e2\u20ac\u201c1967 television season and starred Van Williams as both the Green Hornet and Britt Reid, and Bruce Lee as Kato. The Green Hornet followed the adventures of playboy-media mogul Britt Reid, the owner and publisher of The Daily Sentinel. As the masked vigilante Green Hornet, Britt fights crime with the assistance of his martial-artist partner Kato, Britt&#8217;s valet, and his weapons-enhanced car the Black Beauty with license plate V-194. On police records, the Green Hornet is a wanted criminal, but in reality, the Green Hornet pretends to be a criminal in order to infiltrate and battle the criminal gangs, leaving them and the incriminating evidence for the police&#8217;s arrival. Britt&#8217;s dual identity is known only to his secretary at The Sentinel, Lenore &#8220;Casey&#8221; Case and the District Attorney Frank P. Scanlon. The TV series featured the Green Hornet&#8217;s car, The Black Beauty, a 1966 Imperial Crown sedan customized by Dean Jeffries at a cost of $13,000. Two cars were built for the show and both exist today. Black Beauty 1 is located in the Petersen Museum collection and Black Beauty 2 is fully restored to TV series correct and is located in a private collection in South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Polar Lights Kit #POL876 Green Hornet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Black Beauty kit released by Round2.
