EVEN THE REAL SILVER BENTLEY :B: ON FRONT HOOD IS NEW LOOKING STILL. HERE IS THE AMAZING STORY ON THIS PIECE OF HISTORY. With 77,000 actual miles and single family ownership from new. A very original LHD model with dark red leather upholstery. This car was Mr. Poe’s personal car. It was shipped from Great Britain to Thomasville, Georgia, the location of Pebble Hill Plantation and Mr. Poe’s home. This car has THE BENTLEY V8 engine. Members of the Hanna family owned this bentley from Cleveland, Ohio. The vehicles were a part of the couple of vehicles used at their plantation in Southwest Georgia near Thomasville and the horse farm near Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Howard Melville Hanna of Cleveland, Ohio originally purchased Pebble Hill Plantation in 1896. Mr. Hanna was brother to Marc Hanna, the Ohio senator who guided William McKinley to the U. S. Presidency in 1897. Hanna gave the Pebble Hill property to his daughter, Kate Benedict Hanna Ireland, in 1901. Kate ran Pebble Hill until her death in 1936, at her death, her daughter, Pansy, took over. Pansy was married in 1946 to Parker B. Poe. Pansy preserved what her mother had created and enjoyed Pebble Hill as her main residence until her death in 1978. Like her mother, Pansy was a gracious host and entertained regularly at Pebble Hill. Many of Kate's guests continued to be invited to the plantation. And often took rides around town in bentley during Pansy's tenure. President Dwight Eisenhower and Mrs. Eisenhower were guests on several occasions. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were among other notable visitors on several occasions. In the 1950s, Pansy established the Pebble Hill Foundation, a private foundation that she endowed. At her death, Mrs. Poe’s will dictated that the Pebble Hill property would go to the Foundation and that Pebble Hill would become a museum open to the public. Her desire was to share the Pebble Hill she loved so dearly and to preserve it as a tangible glimpse into the lifestyle that her family once enjoyed. Pebble Hill maintains 3,000 acres, 77 of which are open for the public to explore. More than 15,000 visitors are welcomed each year to the grounds of Pebble Hill Plantation. THIS BENTLEY WAS STORED FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS IN A HEATED STRORAGE ON THEiR FARM. THAT'S WHY THIS CAR IS SO AMAZING AND ORIGINAL.
