The original 1966 TV Batmobile is up for auction in Arizona. From the
listing:
Still as beautiful as when it first came
out of the paint shop, this 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car has been
apart of the personal collection of George Barris since he first bought
it from the Ford Motor Company for $1.
After having a meeting with the
producer of the TV Show, William Dozier, George was left with the
challenge of 15 days and $15,000 budget. Before George knew it, the
Lincoln Futura was underway to becoming what others will always remember
to be the Original Batmobile.
Besides seeing the likes of the infamous,
Adam West and Burt Ward (Batman and Robin), this car has been on a
variety of television/movie sets, car shows and museums around the
nation. To go even further, this car is exclusively featured in
Christopher Nolan's Batmobile Documentary, which is one of the major
bonuses in the Dark Knight Rise's DVD.
History is being made here at
Barret Jackson. This is the 1st TIME that the original Batmobile has
been up for sale, since George bought it for that $1.
