One of the most infamous cars on the planet, the Rolls Royce owned and driven by one of Hollywood's biggest Diva's, Mrs. Zsa Zsa Gabor. If you were alive in 1989, you couldn't escape the story... You know the one, the one that involved a Beverly Hills officer and the palm of Zsa Zsa Gabor's hand.
June 14th,1989, Zsa Zsa Gabor was pulled over in Beverly Hills for expired tags, she became quite frustrated when the officer didn't recognize her Hollywood status and provided her with no special treatment. This lead to Zsa Zsa slapping the officer and ultimately to her arrest. The story made headlines around the world. Zsa Zsa took full advantage of the incident booking interviews including an appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Phil Donahue and more. The incident even made a cameo on the big screen in the blockbuster movie Naked Gun.
A 1979 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible, the ultimate status symbol of its time. Bought new by Zsa Zsa Gabor but what really makes the car special is how long she owned it. Typically the rich and famous do not keep their cars for any substantial period of time. Almost all of the car's miles were put on by her, only about 300 have been put on after she sold it. It is still titled in her name and is wearing her personalized plate. Zsa Zsa knew that it was a good time to sell her car because of all the publicity it was getting. Taking full advantage of the situation she decided to send it to auction which she attended and represented the car personally. It sold for top dollar at the time to a very delighted collector of celebrity owned cars. The car was proudly displayed in his collection from 1990 until 2012. We acquired the car from him and put it on display in our museum. The car has been a huge attraction to our museum gaining attention from the public, media and even Zsa Zsa herself when she learned the car was on display in our museum. It's time to rotate the car for new exhibits and let another caretaker enjoy it.
Picture #4 depiction: "Zsa Zsa Gabor sits in her Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible as she leaves court at a lunch break of her cop-slapping trial on Sept. 28, 1989, in Beverly Hills, Calif. Gabor threatened to call police on a mob of reporters who surrounded the car as she awaited a jury verdict. "Don't scratch the car," she told the media mob."
Arguably the ultimate 1970s and 1980s status symbol of wealth and success, the Rolls-Royce Corniche was a car sought after by many but one only the fortunate few could afford. Designed and intended to be enjoyed by their lucky owners in warm-weather climates, each Corniche took four months to be hand built, with two weeks spent on the convertible top alone. With a list price of well over $100,000 each car utilized only the finest materials Britain had to offer, including Wilton wool carpeting, Connolly leather, and carefully selected burl walnut veneer. First introduced in 1971, the Corniche remained in production for nearly 25 years and over this time, these cars were periodically updated to keep them both modern and relevant. In 1977 new rack-and-pinion steering, alloy and rubber bumpers which replaced the earlier chrome bumpers, along with an oil cooler, aluminum radiator, and bi-level air conditioning system. This car is a very well reserved example. It lived a plush life in Beverly Hills and has only 49,300 actual miles. other than maintenance it is all original. The cars shows really well. No rust or accident history. Overall it runs and functions very well. It has been on display in climate control environment since 1990, it may need some service to be a regular driver. We did rebuild the carbs, set the timing and replaced the fuel sending unit. Our mechanic recently put a few miles on it and said it drove fine. These are not considered an outdated car, they are now nostalgic collectables going up in value. Especially the ones that have something special about them which this one certainly does!

It's really fun to remember that wonderful Gabor family. Zsa Zsa and her sister Magda (no one knows about but was also married to George Sanders) attended a dinner party in Palm Springs in the seventies. I was there serving drinks at the bar when Zsa Zsa sat down and had a very, very weak cocktail. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen! I cannot describe the color and condition of her skin. People called it "like cream" and it was. She was so kind and during dinner, she asked me to take a plate to her chauffeur. She then actually offered to take me and a friend back to LA that night. I should have gone!

[@joeydigrazia765]

What a beautiful Rolls, dahling😁❤❤❤❤❤

[@dethray1000]

Zaza was famous for being famous--i did stunt,production work in hollywood in late 70ties,early 80ties--she was a nice lady--she would come to the studios to hang out with her movie star buddies--was not uppity at all--she liked the movie star image,played it up but was a normal person mostly

[@johnnyrichards77]

Zsa Zsa and Rolls-Royce, both symbols of old America glamour

[@douglas_drew]

Just the most minor correction: Sister Eva Gabor was on Green Acres. Lovely car Darling...

[@jaygrams5046]

Oops, you are correct

[@05Hogsrule]

JAY (!!!) What a real treat for you and the museum to have hands-on with!!! EPIC Moment in your history!

[@clintgreggory2549]

Her sister Eva was on Green Acres. Zsazsa's most famous role was in ' moulin rouge' ( nicole kidman role ) . After that she was really just famous for her style / accent. Like a Kardasian.

[@shelbylawing6196]

[@bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]

It was Eva Gabor on Green Acres, not her sister ZsaZsa.

[@johncornell3665]

Zsa Zsa didnt put up with any crap it seems. Beautiful car Jay!

[@numbersix8919]

"Excellent housekeeper" isn't the first thing Zsa Zsa brings to mind somehow.

[@numbersix8919]

@paulsroczynski1491 OK, now I get it! Finally.

[@drjonathanvrban706]

Jay you always do such a great job with showing your wonderful cars., I hope you don’t mind., but it was Eva Gabor who starred in Green Acres., no her sister Zsa Zsa

[@David-jv2pu]

Have a nice weekend😊

[@incog99skd11]

Green Acres starred her sister Eva.

[@socksumi]

I wonder if George is still driving John Voight's 1989 LeBaron convertible.

[@reglook1]

Love this car, but who was Za Za Gabor?

[@mikeydan]

Jay... Zsa Zsa wasn't on Green Acres... it was Eva.

[@edgarfrank5712]

Around 10 years ago it was on a TV auction in California and it could only fetch $50K.

[@bubbadude316]

Sweet Ride ❤

[@georgeandy6923]

Needed a Close-Up on Zsa Zsa the Puppy. Could barely see her!! This is a nice vehicle, but in my humble opinion....those front hides should be replaced for that asking price!!

[@JJJBRICE]

I see there are numerous comments correcting the error that Zsa Zsa was not on the TV show Green Acres . I want to add sister that Eva was the better actress . When Zsa Zsa appeared on any TV show she played herself , Zsa Zsa Gabor !

[@dugwthree]

. Beautiful car.

[@stevenj9970]

Eva Gabor was n the TV show, "Green Acres"..........Not her sister, Zsa Zsa

[@Joe-jd4pn]

I was alive then. Never heard of the slap.

[@mrknotthall]

Where the hell do you get a RR serviced?

[@daveklein2826]

Service centers that deal only with European cars

[@georgeandy6923]

​@@daveklein2826Or even better at a RR Dealership! But be prepared to Spend A Fortune on any repairs or services performed!!🙄😢😂🤣🤣

[@daveklein2826]

If you have a RR price is not important

[@georgeandy6923]

@@daveklein2826 That is a True Statement!! 😁😁

[@David-jv2pu]

It was the fender, especially that looks kinked? As the car is turning out slightly. I did see what looked like sonething hanging also. However, if I'm wrong, I stand corrected😊

[@daveklein2826]

You're wrong

[@infoSeeker007]

Like it THATS a Cool 😎 Zsa Zsa classic Rolls-Royce!!! I would do a Blue Canvas Top for that and do the Seats in Blue 💙 and add in Blue 💙 Lights inside 💠 12:50 the Car. That would make it really cool. Oh yea and upgrade the headlights 💙 Leds💥💙

[@daggggy]

one of her rolls had an accident hit a pole while some one was driving her to get her hair done and she whacked her head on the dash so it could be this car so that is prob all the cracks you see in the paint on the fender

[@ANOCKS]

Don't be silly Zaza would never be on any program such as Green acres . That was her sister Ava

[@carllavell8673]

👀...👍💯😎💯👍

[@David-jv2pu]

As I said, it looked that way to me, if I'm wrong - I am. Oh well.

[@lloydholland9522]

Zsa zsa Gabor never played on the show Green acres that was her sister Ava Gabor or Eva Gabor one of the two either or but Jaja Gabor never played on the show Green acres

[@axeljacobs9723]

Btw, her sister Eva Gabor was on Green Acres, NOT Zsa Zsa! Get your facts straight!!!!😕

[@axeljacobs9723]

Nobody under 40 even knows who Zsa Zsa Gabor was, nor does anyone care anymore about the cop slapping story! The top is not original, the miles are about average for one of these cars, and the seats don’t look that good anymore. The $79k you want for it are way too high. I own an 84 Corniche, and have been a collector for over 40 years. You‘ll have to go way down on the price, if you actually want to sell it!

[@GenerallyGeneralLee]

She would slap you for confusing her with Eva, they weren't on friendly terms.

[@TheDRUM2112]

You can buy these cars for chump change, even 10-15 years old. Does ZZG prominence matter??????

[@David-jv2pu]

Uncle rudy...zoom in, really zoom in and look again....sure looks like damage to me?

[@daveklein2826]

Nope

[@David-jv2pu]

Observation!! Took notice when the vehicle was backing out of your garage. The lower front edge corner of the drivers door is "kinked, bent, damaged" and wasn't during the video walk around inside?? Must have happend after the video was made?? Jus' sayin'...a shame it now needs body work😮

[@douglas_drew]

Looks like door rubber detached?

[@unclerudy9797]

Guess again... What you are calling body damage is simply a detatched inner door weather strip that has dried and become detached with age and is now wedged between the front door edge and rhe left front fender rear edge. Very common on older RRs.. I have worked on more than a few..

[@daveklein2826]

Wrong David....try again

[@EEnnisjr]

You need to get your facts straight. There are over a dozen incorrect statements wrong with this video. Also Ava played on Green Acres. I own and have owned 10 genuine Crewe Built RR’s, and this video needs someone that has knowledge of these cars.

[@jaygrams5046]

I'm interested in hearing the dozen incorrect statements.

[@daveklein2826]

Eennisjr it if you are so knowledgeable other than Ava let us know what the other 11 incorrect statements are.Skippy

[@larrybrown3951]

Zsa Zsa wasn't on Green Acres. That was her sister Ava.

[@stephengarrison8027]

do some research before you put incorrect info on u-tube man, zza,zza wasnt on green acres, if you knew your facts you would know it was her sister who played on green acres!
