"Greased Lightning" Car for GREASE

For my middle school production of "Grease" a couple years ago, I rented a 3/4 scale styrofoam car shell from John Saari at Greensboro College. It worked really well for this age group. (Click photos to enlarge them).

I also borrowed an old golf cart from a parent. The foam body nests perfectly on top of the standard golf cart. Of course you have to remove the roof:

Here is the car at the night-time drive-in movie scene. The headlights really work, which is very cool in this scene. By the way, the hood and trunk areas are built strong enough to support the boy's weight as they climb on the car!

Here is a picture of the inside of the car. You can see how the foam hull nests perfectly onto the old golf cart. On the driver's door you can see the controls for the headlights.

Please do not contact me about this car, I got it from Greensboro College. It should still be in storage there. Contact them directly. Paste this link to John Saari's site: http://theatre.greensborocollege.edu/john.html
