Bob Hope's car

black mamba featured a beautiful car here last week built by an engineer named Norman Timbs. I was thumbing through the internet , car watching, and I ran across this. I didn't take the photos. Interesting, I thought, as well as gaudy and excessive. The fit and finish leave a little to be desired too. And it was made the same year as me

He "kept" Bing in the trunk during the Road shows. 
Bob H to his mechanic, "I don't know what the problem is. It keeps binging and crooning."

And maybe Ann Margaret and a few other "hotties" du jour.

You can just imagine Bob riding around in that. As mentioned, it is ugly, but would be a head turner.

I bet it would sell for a lot more than that at auction. Bob Hope and a custom car.

Pure ostentatious…. but Hope probably liked to be seen behind the wheel. Good for auto shows, tho. But…well preserved. Thx for sharing…
