New London, CT 2017
The main attraction of Motorjam 2017 was a number of Batmobiles that appeared in the TV and movies adaptations of the Batman comic hero. This particular version of the Batmobile appeared in the very camp TV production of Batman, starring Adam West as Batman and Bruce Ward as Robin in 1966-68. It was designed by George Barris and was built using a 1954 Ford Futura concept car. I'm not sure if this is the original Batmobile, or one of the many licensed copies that were produced later. Those of my generation remember this TV series well and would tune in religiously each week at the "Same Bat-time, Same Bat-channel" to watch.
Oh yes, same Bat time, same Bat channel!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing, boys AND girls loved Batman and Robin, it is not the way it is now, that only girls like the "Princesses" and the girl heroes.
(Batgirl was on there, but honestly, who remembers her?)
