George Barris and the Batmobile from "Back to the Batcave" there are some differences from the original car. In the days of the original TV show, there were no back-up vehicles or crashers, however, there were about 4 cars created during the run of the show. All from one original.
The original: In 1955, the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company designed and built a futuristic concept car called the Lincoln Futura. It was built entirely by hand in Turin, Italy at a cost of $250,000, and like many concept cars, was never put in to production. In the mid 1960's, George Barris of Barris Kustom City acquired the car for $1 directly from Ford.

Fast forward to August 1965, the Batman TV show producers approached George to have him build a new Batmobile for their upcoming show. The only catch was the car had to be ready for action in a mere three weeks. Seeing the bat-like qualities his Futura already had, George felt it was the perfect answer.

  • Nice song choice. And original or not, I wish I could see it in person.
