who is this and what car is he in?

Bob Hope and a Chrysler 300

Immediately recognize Bob Hope, not so easy to make out the car for me.

 

[polara71]

I thought it was Hope he's in a 1970 Chrysler 300..

 

[1978 NYB]

What was the event.........Rose Bowl Parade or his Desert Classic Golf Tournament?

Bob Hope came and entertained the Troops for the last time during Desert Storm. It wasn't safe for him to come to up to my AO (Area of Occupation). LOL!!!

 

[polara71]

Yes, 1970 rose bowl parade

 

[polara71]

Interesting to think how many cars were built as public relations cars for that event and I have never seen a write up on it, and not just for 70 but prior years also

Where is that today?

Where is that today?

This limousine was used in livery service in Oregon from 1980 until 1983. It has been in storage ever since.

This piece of history is being offered to the next owner for $40,000.00 or a reasonable offer.

There's your answer for 40 G's it could be yours.

How cool would that be........driving Bob Hope's Imperial Limo?

I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had Powerball money! LOL!

I'm sure that's the condition it would be in if he owned it.

The only way he could afford it off of Craigslist

I do not like the looks of the streched versions. The design gets ruined
