Yeah, not really a car you can drive around in every day...

Maybe somebody knows better than me and can verify or clarify, but if memory serves me... there were either two or three of them built. They were originally 1956 or '57 Lincoln concept cars that were built by George Barris. When the Batman series was conceived in 1965, the studio went to Barris for a suitable Batmobile. He pulled the Lincolns out of mothballs, added the twin bubble tops, made a few other changes, painted them and delivered them to the TV studio.

I saw it (one of them?) at a car show in Terre Haute, Indiana in 1967 or '68, again in Indianapolis with "Batman" Adam West and "Robin" Burt Ward in about 1975 (with "fuzzy" flocked paint that looked like crap! ), and again in 1979. At the '79 show it was shiny and looking good again and Adam West was appearing as Batman again. The last I heard, one of them was in a collection owned by the same guy that owns the R&C Dream Truck...
