This movie featured the Kirkeby Mansion, of "Beverly Hillbillies" fame. The 20,000 square foot structure was built in 1938 in Bel Air, California. The owner of the mansion, Arnold Kirkeby, was quite upset after the production crew of "Cinderfella" trashed the grounds of the 6.5 acre estate, and was initially hesitant when approached by the Filmways producers to feature the mansion in the new Beverly Hillbillies series. Arnold Kirkeby was one of 95 passengers killed in a Boeing 707 plane crash (two minutes after takeoff) from New York to LA in March of 1962. Just before the fourth season of the Beverly Hillbillies, Mrs. Kirkeby cancelled the agreement with Filmways because the address had been leaked, resulting in an endless stream of tourists. No views of the Mansion or grounds were permitted on the show after that time. A new owner dismantled the mansion in 1987 after paying over thirteen million dollars for it. -- Last edit: 2006-11-19 07:17:25 |

The correct designation of this one is Imperial Crown Custom Parade Phaeton.They were not Presidential cars and were not operated by the US Presidency.In fact Chrysler extensively transformed 3 parade phaetons they had built in 1952 for official parade use using the Crown Imperial chassis ,by updating them with 1955 Imperial front end sheet metal and grille and 1956 Imperial rear fenders and trim.In George H. Damman\'s 70 years of Chrysler they are listed as 1955 cars,so probably produced in late 1955.Puzzling point here is that none was originally pink.There were 2 white cars with red interiors one in New York and one in Detroit and one metallic silver blue car with white leather interior residing in Los Angeles.This one apparently has a white interior , may be the latter car resprayed ? Perhaps our American friends have more information ? |
