Before and after [PIC}
One more reason for my love for these resin images....
The Lincoln Futura.
I've been hoping to have the pairing of the Lincoln Futura and the Barris creation it was made into.
Soooo.... here's BEFORE:

While the Batmobile is cool, it is a shame that the Futura was sacrificed in it's build IMO.

Yes, but what a great looking, and beautiful icon George turned it into.

Is the Batmobile the Hot Wheels version, I think they did an "Elite" version didn't they.

There were 3 levels of the Batmobile. This is the "Super Elite"...
That edition was originally to be limited to 1966 units. It sold out so quickly, they removed the "Limited" feature and undoubtedly sold all they could. It may not have been too many more because within a few months after the initial tidal wave of rabid collectors, dealers were dumping them for 1/2 price. I couldn't resist and bought another one to store in the dusty archives.
