Yukon, Okla. (Feb. 5,
2008) – Halicki Films Company, producer of the motion picture "Gone
in
60 Seconds," is pleased to announce that classic Recreations has
been selected as the exclusive, first ever, officially-licensed
custom fabricator to build the iconic "Eleanor" Mustang from "Gone
in 60
Seconds." "Eleanor" captured everyone's hearts in her reprisal role
in the 2000 feature film "Gone in
60 Seconds," starring with her leading man, Nicolas Cage. Now, for
the very first time, movie fans
and Mustang enthusiasts alike can own their own authentic,
officially-licensed "Gone in 60 Seconds
Eleanor" collectible vehicle.
Halicki Films Company granted classic Recreations the license to
build the only genuine
"Eleanors" after numerous visits to the company's Oklahoma factory
and a full battery of rigorous
background and criteria checks. The agreement grants classic
Recreations the right to license the
intellectual properties held exclusively by Halicki Films Company,
including the copyrights,
trademarks, trade dress and logos in and to "Eleanor" and "Gone in
60 Seconds," and "Eleanor's"
one-of-a-kind, amazing movie looks, in connection with the
manufacturing, marketing, sale and
distribution of the officially licensed collectible "Gone in 60
Seconds Eleanor."
To ensure the safety of each transaction, classic Recreation will
maintain each customer's initial
deposit and purchase fee in an escrow account at a federally-insured
financial institution until such
time as the customer's car is completed and ready for delivery.
The recent production of the 1967 Mustang Fastback bodies licensed
and authorized by Ford has
streamlined the customizing process so that those who desire their
own movie star car can
purchase a brand-new "Eleanor" Mustang fabricated from the ground up
with all new body and
parts. Customers may also choose to modify one of classic
Recreations' 1967 original mustang
bodies with all new parts. In either case, the classic Recreations
team will work tirelessly at each
step of the process to provide absolute customer satisfaction and
complete reliability.
