Vehicle Description
To Be Auctioned Off No-Reserve Beginning on Sept. 19th. Estimate
$8,000 - $12,000. This is a very nice condition Lincoln Town Car
that was used as the Hero car in American Gangster by Denzel
Washington's character Frank Lucas. It is a rust free California
car with a very nice black paint job and a beautiful original
leather interior showing very little wear. Dash does have cracks
from the CA sun but is covered with a dash pad. Being the Hero car,
it did not see any stunt use and was not the car that was rigged
and riddled with bullet holes. It has a tow bar on the front and
would be towed by a film truck while cameras were rolling. This
would allow the actors to concentrate on acting and not driving.
The tow bar is currently still installed on the car. After its use
in American Gangster it was being prepped for use in Green Hornet.
It had the large wheels with big tires added and a high-rise intake
with scooped air cleaner to give it a new look that matched the
Green Hornet movie style. The car ended up never being used in the
Green Hornet. The sale does include the front bumper, fender skirts
and hub caps if someone wanted to put it back to the American
Gangster look. We purchased this car directly from Universal
Studios transportation coordinator and is documented. It runs and
drives fantastic and is better than "movie car" quality. With the
few changes required to bring it back to American Gangster, it
would be an excellent car to drive, show and have fun with!
