PINK PANTHER CAR


Otro símbolo del buen gusto y la clase absoluta es el coche que abría los shows de la Pantera Rosa en los años 60 y 70 y del que salían, tras la apertura lateral de la compuerta, Pink Panther y Closeau. Tuvimos la suerte de verlo hace un montón de años en la exposición de Hollywood Cars en Barcelona y es espectacular. Os pego una pequeña reseña informativa. "This custom-made limo was the only Pink Panther car ever produced, built in 1969 by legendary Californian car customiser Jay Ohrberg whose other iconic Hollywood motors include the open-top Batmobile from the 1992 film ‘Batman Returns’, The Dukes of Hazzard’s ‘General Lee’ and the cop car in 1987 flick ‘Robocop’. Still broadcast around the world today, the nostalgic TV show centres on the heroic, moral cartoon cat with pink fur and the manners of an English aristocrat who fallibly battles against villains together with the French bumbling detective. The cartoon character was originally developed for the opening credits of ‘The Pink Panther’ film (1963) starring Peter Sellers, and this Oscar-winning animated short was one of the first experiments to mix live action with animation.". Que maravilla.
