The Lincoln Futura..was a prototype/Concept car "one-off"..not in production ...and it was changed/ customised/especially made for the batman TV show ...so ...should it be listed as Lincoln Futura.? I would say (again) ..made for movie.! |

It is a Lincoln, so keep it as a Lincoln, even if it is a concept |

"It is a Lincoln, so keep it as a Lincoln, even if it is a concept" Actually, the 1955 Futura was originally billed as a FORD concept car , it was only after the styling came out on the 1956 Lincoln Futura production model that the car became a Lincoln. |

Maybe a Ford at the beginning. I never heard of that and didn't check, but I know that the same 1953 concept was called whether the Ford X-100, whether the Lincoln Continental X, so it happens.... But there NEVER was a 1956 Lincoln Futura production model. -- Last edit: 2008-06-25 21:29:10 |

Yeah..it actually sat for 10 years in a movie lot before they gave it to Barris to modify. -- Last edit: 2008-12-04 20:52:03 |

Just think...if it had reached production, that might actually be a common sight. Just imagine a world where wild, retro-space-age works like that one end up as derelicts, discovered rusting away in some pine forest in Georgia or somewhere. |

It is my understanding that George Barris was able to purchase this prototype Lincoln Futura from Ford for only US$ 1.00 in 1965. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmobile#Live-action_television |

There's an extra on the movie DVD where George Barris himself tells the story of the Batmobile. He says there were five (including a stunt car, a "close up" car and one that just made personal appearances). I was hoping for a picture or some footage of the pre-Batmobile Futura...no such luck. |

I don't get why the Batmobile would need a license plate. |

would be a funny thing to see Batman waiting in line at the DMV while Joker turns Gotham City upside down.. |
