For Many Years I Keep Seeing The Batmobile Up For Sale,

there must be hundreds of them out there,

but this is the one and only original one now being sold, on Jan. 19 at Barrett-Jackson, the Scottsdale, Ariz., rare and classic auto auction house, this from the article,


'the one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car was originally created by a design team at Ford Motor Co.'s Lincoln styling department, the 19-foot-long, two-seat, bubble-topped grand touring car prototype was entirely hand-built in 1954 by Ghia Body Works in Turin, Italy, and unveiled in its original pearlescent “frost-blue” white paint finish in 1955 at the Chicago Auto Show, in late 1965, 20th Century Fox Television and William Dozier's Greenway Productions tapped Barris to come up with a car to foil Batman's enemies, Barris said he transformed the Lincoln in just 15 days for $15,000, the heavily modified car, known around the world, was built at Barris' auto shop in North Hollywood',


there is a reserve price for the car, but neither the auction house nor the car owner, famed car customizer George Barris, would confirm the lowest dollar amount they would accept, plans for the sale were revealed at the L.A. Auto Show, 'let's just say it's in the multimillions,' said Craig Jackson, chief executive of Barrett-Jackson, 'the car is true Americana, it's hard to put a dollar figure on something like that',


would I like it? I have to say it is not quiet me, but I guess there will be plenty of bidders out there.
