I was an old Ford concept car from the 50's if I remember right. George Barris who owned a custom shop in Hollywood bought it from Ford and redid the front and rear, but it retains much of the appearance from the original showcar. Barris also did the Munster Mobile, but he really built his reputation in the 50's and 60's building Model T buckets. My uncle owned a body shop in downtown LA and knew Barris from various car show and trade events.

The 'Futura' Batmobile, as I call it, is the type that was featured in the 1966-68 'Batman' television series. You may wish to note that those are the same years that another fantasy TV show of moderate fame was running...'Star Trek'.
The term 'Futura' is the name of the 1955 Lincoln (as in Ford/Lincoln/Mercury) concept car that this Batmobile is built upon, a fact I only recently became aware of. I had always believed the car was a totally original creation by the master of custom cars, George Barris. The pictures on this site prove I was incorrect. However, Mr. Barris did orchestrate the many changes to the 'Futura' design that brought it out of the 50s and into the Muscle-car 60s.

And here's the original car that provided the basis for the Batmobile. It was a Lincoln Futura, not a Ford...
