The Batmobile is arguably the most famous vehicle to appear on television. When ABC decided to produce the adventures of Batman, the task of creating the Batmobile was left to the famous custom car builder, George Barris. George was given this great challenge, with only three weeks to produce an automobile that would forever seal his name in the history books.

To promote the show, the Batman cars toured the country. Making their appearances at county fairs and race meets. There is no accurate count on how many Batmobiles have been built; but this car is said to be the 6th produced and built by Jay Orhrberg Hollywood Cars, one of the premier builders of movie cars. This car was used to tour the U.S. highlighting the dangers of alcohol and drugs to children.

The car has an interesting history. It was sold by from a private collector in Los Angeles during the 1980’s to a collector in Germany, and then was purchased again by a museum in 1991. This world traveler resided in the Cars of the Stars collection, which is considered to be the one of the finest collection of film and television cars in the world. And it eventually made it way to its latest ownership in the Cayman Motor Museum.

This Batmobile was built on a 1959 Lincoln Chassis with a hand-built steel body. It is finished in the classic colors of black with a red highlight lines and Cragar wheels. The open cockpit is decorated with round windshields. The interior is tailored with black leather seats with orange piping, black carpet, a phone mounted to the dash, custom steering wheel and orange Batman symbols on the door. Powering this stunning car is a carbureted V-8 engine that is coupled with an automatic transmission.
