The Batmobile enters the 1960s... [PIC]

This Batmobile was probably the inspiration for the 1966 George Barris creation although given only 2 weeks to finish it, he pretty much had to stay within the design confines of the Lincoln Futura that was the basis of it. This is another Johnny Lightning kit build that comes with a painted diecast body. I pin striped the body ala the Barris BM and that was in 2002. I doubt my hands are steady enough to do that now. JL's sister company, Polar Lights, released an all plastic model of this same car and I assembled and painted the Batman and Robin figures shown in the model.

@bob-jackman Yes I did know about that Bob; it's what prompted my initial post actually.

@georgeschire There were two Batman serials that I've seen. In the earlier one, he drove a Cadillac. I was only showing the comic book BMs that were custom built.
