  3. Dammit Robin you didn't deploy the anti Corrolla bat spray!

    Holy Air Bag Batman! You drive like a douche!
     
  4. Will Barris fix this?

    or will he send it to Cushenberry's shop?

    Will Bruce Wayne have to pay the deductible?

    And will his premiums go up?

    Tune in next week same Bat time same Bat channel?

    I would much prefer Dragula or the Munster Koach...
     
  6. Nothing you couldn't recreate by picking up a clapped-out '62 Lincoln sedan (part of me thinks it actually was a '64? need to see the movie and check out the side windows and rear deck lid), some sheet metal, cutting torch, a BFH and the bust of Emil Faber.

    I think Ford should go after Barris for a slice of the pie..... And give some of that money to the guys that originally designed the Futura....

    Just discovered this shot of the Lincoln Futura as it arrived at Barris' custom shop looking very sad and still painted red from starring in the movie "It started with a kiss" What a bargain at $1!

    Actually, that's how it looked after sitting on the Barris lot deteriorating for a few years... He didn't pay Ford the $1.00 for it until after he bastardized it into the Batmobile.:eek:

    RE: The Batmobile,
    Same mentality that saw really nice Indy cars being turned into supermodifieds...Done similar things myself with some great old virtually worthless stuff.

    You think maybe if you post the same comment a few more times it'll come true? The Futura would've been crushed if not for becoming the Batmobile, so deal with it and get on with your life.

    What a wonderful idea! Next they can go after all the guys selling hot-rodded '32 three windows for stupid money and give that money to the designers. You Futura lovers are sure a realistic breed...
