Est. $70,000-$75,000 "Falcon Crest" (1981-1990) 1981 Mercedes Benz 380 SL Used as Personal Transport For Jane Wyman (W/Registration to Lorimar Productions) - This 1981 Mercedes Benz 380 SL was purchased new by Lorimar Productions for use in the television series "Falcon Crest". The vehicle was purchased to be the personal transport vehicle of Jane Wyman (the ex-wife of President Ronald Regan), who portrayed "Angela Channing" in the primetime drama. The car was screen used during the first two seasons of the production, and Ms. Wyman liked the vehicle so much that it became her daily driver during filming, and she was even allowed to drive it home. The car was later purchased by Lorimar executive and executive producer of "Falcon Crest", Michael Filerman, who owned the vehicle until his death. The car was purchased new from and maintained by Mercedes Benz of Beverly Hills, and has always been garage kept. This vehicle has been exhibited at the Celebrity Car Museum in Branson, Mo., and will come a copy of registration paperwork to Lorimar Studios. "Falcon Crest" is an American prime time television soap opera that aired for nine seasons, from December 4, 1981 to May 17, 1990. The series revolved around the feuding factions of the wealthy Gioberti/Channing family in the Californian wine industry. Jane Wyman starred as matriarch of the Falcon Crest Winery Angela Channing, alongside Robert Foxworth as Chase Gioberti, Angela's nephew who returns after the death of his father. "Falcon Crest" was produced by Lorimar Productions, and was a top-20 show in the Nielsen Ratings for several years.
