BATMOBILE (ORIGINAL 1966) 1/18TH SCALE (DIECAST BY CORGI) September 2, 2008
In August 1965, the producers of the "Batman" TV show approached ultra-customizer George Barris to create a new Batmobile for their upcoming program. The car had to be ready to fly in only 3 weeks. Fortunately Barris had previously acquired the futuristic concept car called the Lincoln Futura. Ford had had it built in 1955 (ten year prior!) and at a cost of $250,000! Barris paid a buck. He saw the bat-like qualities the Futura already had and with a bit of addition... the Batmobile made its debut in October of 1965.
This is the one and only, officially licensed model of the original 1966 Batmobile 1/18th Scale, as seen in the classic TV series featuring Adam West as the Caped Crusader! Collectors have been waiting for this car for years, and Hot Wheels' 40th anniversary seemed like the perfect time for them to release it! And since there are no others, they got together with George Barris to make sure they did it right. From the wheels to the curved windshield, 1966 TV Series Batmobile is detailed on an astonishing scale, embodying the history and heritage of Batman and Hot Wheels alike!
