I like the Batman 66 Batmobile. I think it is the best looking car ever made. They made one for the TV show and the first episodes contained film of it painted in flat black primer in some scenes since the car was not finished when they started production.
They made three more for use at car shows, and one more, for a total of five that was build as a dragster.
Later a company started manufacturing authorized versions of the Batmobile for sale to the public for only $250,000 USD each with a waiting time of several years.
This Hot Wheels Batmobile is all I can afford right now.

The Batmobile was made from a single prototype vehicle from the Ford Motor Co. The Lincoln Futura:

Yes, that is correct and it was a beautiful car. It was also in a couple movies before Barris got it and made the Batmobile out of it. Then he made fiberglass copies of the body and made the other four Batmobiles.

Thanks for reading KimRY.
