@lst1195 Barris said that the bubble was slow to raise (not good for crime fighters in a hurry), wobbly, not very strong and the temperature in the cockpit was unbearable with that thing down for extended periods of time.
@gupsnot Not to mention the distortion in the plexiglass and the absence of wipers due to the curvature of the plexiglass. I think it would look better and be more efficient if it had a standard windshield.
Yes! Thanks so much for posting this. I remember seeing this movie (and that CAR!) on TV in the early 60's in black & white. I had no idea it was painted red for the movie.
Debbie looked very good back then.

I wonder why Barris decided to remove that "retracting cockpit glass" ? it would have looked cool on the Batmobile!

@gupsnot Ah, that makes sense. I had clear Tee tops on my stingray & they make the care into a green House as well.
