The 1973 Toyoita RV-1, never heard of it before but i think it looks very cool. 1973 Toyota RV-1 by Austin7nut, on Flickr 1973 Toyota RV-1 by Austin7nut, on Flickr a 1960 SAAB 95 Prototype, What a fab looking car! 1960 Saab 95 prototype by Austin7nut, on Flickr Coca-Cola 1935 by Austin7nut, on Flickr Junk Jalopies - repair your car or DESTROY it by Austin7nut, on Flickr 1937 REO Speedtanker - "I just wanna keep on lovin' you" 1937 Reo Speedtanker by Austin7nut, on Flickr I'm guessing the Batmobile was based on this.

seth Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Some great (and some very famous) photos The "Beach rod" was called Insani-T or something similar. Can't find it at teh moment. The mystery car in Paris is a Delahaye. That is the Lincoln Futura which the Batmobile was based on. I think the "Custom Van" is Corvair related.

garethj Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I think the car in Paris is a Delahaye? The car that you think the Batmobile was based on, is the Batmobile! The Lincoln Futara was acquired by customiser George Barris and he made it into the Batmobile for the TV show. He then took a fibreglass mould from it and made another 5 (I think) for use as stunt cars and for promotional use in car shows across America.

worldofceri Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 It takes a stretch of the imagination but most of this is plausible except ...billiard rooms ... would be available. Shirley attempting to play billiards on any type of moving conveyance (e.g. bus, train, North Sea ferry, space shuttle) is only going to end in frustration?
