I will jump in...I do have a question. The car I'm wanting to build was a 1955 concept car that was modified for a very famous tv series in 66 will that be permitted? Of course I will be building the 66 final car that's the reason I'm asking.

The Barris Batmobile? I think you'll be fine since it was a '55 Lincoln Futura he used to make the original.

I take that as you can turn it into a Batmobile if that's what you want lol.

Hope you guys dont mind that I moved your discussion here into the Q&A.

Jesse's right. If the car was manufactured in the 50's, even though it was modified for a 60s show, it would still be ok. It's like if I took a 1956 Chevy and customized it to look futuristic. Same concept. Exaggerated a bit but noen the less. bllah bah blah lol.. I think you get it. If you go with that build, I look forward to it.

Really? This is the original Batmobile.

Before there was a Barris TV Batmobile, this 1963 version was built for the Caped Crusader and used in DC Comics promotions. This Batmobile was originally an 1956 Oldsmobile 88.

Has a checkered past.

I've spent a lot of money on cars, booze, and broads.....the rest I squandered.

Interesting looking though.
