Stovebolt Hello,
Funny I should come across this site. I'm friends with Kale and Steve Asztalos who own Concept Cars Inc. outside of Angola,IN. and they were hired by Hot Rod Golf Carts to rebuild part of the suspension on this former Bob Hope Cart. I was just trying to find out the history of this cart. I know Bob had two of these carts and one sold with his Estate and this one was sold to another person. If you know the history could you email me the info please. Here is the cart in their shop.

After I replied the first time here is what I located,but still don't know what year this was:

Bob was so thrilled that George was able to recreate Bob's likeness on his golf cart for his "Bob Hope Classic Golf Tournament" in Palm Springs. The Golf Cart was one of George's most noted creations to this day. Bob was the most famous of all the stars that George made cars for. "It was an honor to work with Bob" said George. "We pray for his soul, his family and friends. There will never be another like Bob Hope."

The world was a nicer place when Bob Hope was around.
