TV Series Batmobile

Now, it's the time for Batman Hot Wheels!!  I brought you a TV Series Batmobile.   It's a part of 2014 HW City - Batman 75th Anniversary.

The 1966 TV Series Batmobile (commonly referred to as the '66 Batmobile) is a Hot Wheels casting based on the Batmobile featured on the original Batman TV series. The car was First released in 2007 as a prototype. The prototype debuted in the 2007 New Models with a ZAMAC Body.

Origin, Real Life & In The Movie

The Batmobile itself was created in the astonishingly short time of three weeks by custom car guru George Barris, who had previously purchased Lincoln's elegant 1955 "Futura" concept car. With new 1960s-style wheel arches, a few bat-like styling cues and a coat of black paint, the space-age Futura began a new life as the Dark Knight's ride. 

In November 2012 Barris Kustom and George Barris announced the sale of the Batmobile at the Barrett-Jackson car show and auction held in Scottsdale, Arizona. The vehicle fetched $4.2 million on January 19, 2013
