Green Hornet's Car on Display at the Petersen Museum

On January 14, one little mean, black machine will hit cinema screens, in 3D. It is, of course, non other than Green Hornet's Black Beauty, the car which is featured in the new movie staring Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, and Cameron Diaz.

Before that moment though, the car can be seen on an elevated outdoor display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, for all 58,000 daily commuters to admire. Black Beauty will be on display until the end of February.

The honor of being featured on the museum's elevated outdoor display is even greater for the car, as it is only the third automotive item to be presented this way. The only other two cars to achieve the feat were the AM/PM Boss monster truck and a 2000 NASCAR Dodge Intrepid.

A thing worth even more attention than the Black Beauty itself is the fact that it previews not only the January movie, but also The Green Hornet exhibit, which will be hosted by the Hollywood Gallery at the Petersen Automotive Museum.

The exhibit itself will feature not one, but six Black Beauties, all of which have been used while shooting the movie. Other prop from the movie includes process bodies, stunt cars and a hero car, all spread throughout a set created to resemble the Green Hornet's garage.

The 2011 interpretation of the Black Beauty is the third ever made, with the first two cars both being built by Dean Jeffries, who had been commissioned to build the Batmobile for the Batman TV series.
