We just finished a production of 'Grease' at a local high school, and have a pretty cool "Greased Lighting". It's based on a '32 Ford Deuce Coupe, and is full size (approx. 5' wide x 11' long), with working steering and headlights. One side is a rusted "hulk", and the other side is a finished street rod. The passenger door also works. It also has a flash pot under the hood so it can backfire when it first appears. We spent so much time on this thing that I hate to see it taken apart, so it's for rent or purchase. Contact me for photos. We also have a bed for Marty's bedroom scene that unfolds out of a big "Barbie Doll Travel Case". That's for sale or rent too.

Greensboro College, (central North Carolina), did Grease, and the design professor John Saari, (who by the way is the inventor of Sculpt-or-Coat glue), built a large fake car out of styrofoam. They carved it to look like a real hotrod and sealed it with cheesecloth & Sculpt-or-Coat. This lightweight car body was then fitted over the top of an old electric golf cart!
His prop was simple, lightweight, durable, easy to store backstage, very easy to drive and manuever around the set, and visually entertaining. It was made to fit over ANY golf cart, so he rents it out. I saw it used again at a local high school, so I know he still has it in storage.
Here is his contact info:

Hi!
I am a professor at Mitchell College in New London, CT and am directing our first ever musical in May. It happens to be GREASE and, as is always the case with this show, we are having trouble finding and/or building a GREASED LIGHTNING car. Our theater is on the second floor of a building which complicates the problem even further. I would be willing to do just about anything or go anywhere to get a useable car or to find details as to how to build one. Can you help us????????????????????????? Thank you.
