“Grease” is the word and this sale is worth its own list of credits as the amazing car collection also includes the Grease Hell’s Chariot Custom Convertible. The 1949 Mercury Series 9CM custom convertible featured throughout the motion picture “Grease” (Paramount, 1978) was nicknamed “Hell’s Chariot.” The Merc was originally built and customized by Eddie Paul of Customs by Eddie Paul to create the Scorpions gang’s signature convertible. The film culminates with John Travolta’s character, Danny, racing against Hell’s Chariot, driven by his nemesis, “Craterface,” the leader of the Scorpions gang played by Dennis Stewart. Hell’s Chariot lines up with Danny in the dry riverbed of the Los Angeles River in downtown L.A. to begin their race. Hell’s Chariot dishes out damage, rear ending Travolta’s car and cutting into its side with the Chariot’s razor hubcaps. Despite the abuse Travolta’s car endures by Hell’s Chariot, he wins the day, the car, and the girl, Sandy, played by Olivia Newton-John. Signed on the dashboard by Newton-John (Estimate: $400,000-$600,000).

Nothing evokes Hollywood royalty or a sense of honor and masculinity than the name Marlon Brando. His Harley-Davidson FLH Electra-Glide motorcycle purchased by Brando in 1970 shows 13,859 miles and is black. Marlon Brando’s image as a rebel on a motorcycle was established with his role as Johnny Strabler in “The Wild One” (Columbia, 1953). Marlon Brando was quoted as saying “I often got on my motorcycle in New York in the middle of the night and went for a ride — anyplace.”

The sale also includes the KITT car from the original hit television series “” starring . The T-top TransAm has a keyless ignition system and studio-created instruments, controls, monitors and steering wheel that outfit the dashboard. KITT’s signature red light scanning sensor on the hood is operated from inside the vehicle. The car was registered to Universal City Studios in May 1984. KITT is accompanied by a group of studio call sheets and maps indicating the vehicle was used and which cast members were present. The NBC television series “Knight Rider” (NBC 1982-1986) starred David Hasselhoff who shared the screen with the unusual co-star, a Pontiac TransAm voiced by William Daniels and named KITT. KITT is an acronym for Knight Industries Two-Thousand. The intelligent vehicle drove itself at times and with its high tech features it always assisted its star character, Michael Knight. The car is in working order (Estimate: $200,000-$300,000).
