The Lone Ranger's car
Clayton Moor's '59 'Vette. Now owned by his daughter...looking at her now, I can only think that she was a true 20th century fox!

Cool. However the guy showing it is a little over the top.
In 1957, my buddy and I got to pose with his horse at Old Tucson where they were filming. Oh yeah, Tonto's horse was there too. A few years before the car showed up.

Yep! Silver and Scout in the background. No wonder you kept that pic. True americana, right there..
 Charles Phoenix? LOL! Behold the glory. He usually covers old luxobarges...I laugh through them...

The '58 has been my dream car (with a white door scoop) but that'd do!

Like the voice in the Honey Badger video, which is hilarious.

I last went to one of his "shows" (pre Covid) at a theater on the Westside featuring a slide show of 50's trailer life and family vacations followed by a showing of Lucy and Desi's "The Long, Long, Long Trailer".

Many years ago (why do more and more of my stories start that way), there was a Lone Ranger Restaurant in Reseda.
I remember going there for the grand opening and Clayton Moore was there. All dressed up in the LR regalia. No horse and I don't remember a corvette. But it obviously made an impression on me.

That four speed powerglide probably helps the value quite a bit. It’s a really rare option.

The powerglide was a 2 speed. The Hydramatic was 4 speed.

Sorry, but I couldn't stomach watching the video, so I missed that.
