this car was the one everyone my age grew up on....it was the coolest car on t.v at the time and there has not been another since,,,,,when you are young, you are influenced heavily by what you see...i`m sure there is the generation from the general lee, as well as kitt....but this car is the first and there will never be one like it because the original car was never put into production
I love this car and no disrespect to George Barris, but the most famous car in the world is The General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard TV show. The General Lee rules!
@charger19691 Well, theres no doubt about Lee being famous and up there but I bet this car has been known in far more countries. It was around longer too. I was a fan of the general and the bat mobile so its tough.
Fun facts I guess, but I always wondered what they did if it was raining in Gotham? I never cared for the car and now I am addicted to the docu-videos of The Tumbler.
awesome i hate when ppl think that the original was from the 80's movie this is in fact the original but i have to disagree with the ending statement about the batmobile being in more demand than any other movie or tv car because anybody whos anybody in the car buisness knows that the ghostbusters ecto-1 is the most sought after movie car on the market the ghostbusters logo alone had a survey done on it and it is the 2nd most recognizable symbol next to a stop sign
'AMAZING' insight to the original and creative genius of George Barris, King of Kustoms. "HOLY-CAR CUSTOMIZING" A must for any fan, enthusiast of cars, TV and movie. BANG-WOW-ZAP...Mr. Barris remains the standard for all....and he is the kindest person you will ever meet. Thank you George for sharing.

Glad George referenced the original Ford Futura
Show Car -most of the design work had been done for that car.
Its still an amazing looking car.
