Like many Hollywood actors, Ben Affleck was spotted more than once while driving a Tesla Model S. But this doesn’t mean he’s trying to save the world by not burning gas, it just proves that Elon Musk’s EV is quite popular with celebrities.
Affleck actually owns a few gas-burning cars as well, including a 2014 Lexus LS he was caught getting in earlier this week. Not impressed? Well, is a first-generation Chevrolet Chevelle SS good enough for you, because he has one of those as well?

It’s a late first-gen Chevelle built for the 1966 model year, a bit more than a year before the second-generation model was introduced. The SS was the ultimate Chevelle in 1966, being powered by a 6.5-liter big-block V8 that delivered 360 horsepower to the rear wheels.

Affleck’s model is no longer stock though, sporting a new set of wheels, a custom interior and probably other updates that make it unique among similar musclecars.
