    Any bets as to how many, and which, of the eight exhausts are non-funtional? ;)

    I never saw it as the Joker Mobile, but I did see it in person in the Sixties as the "Orange Hauler".
    It was also released as a model kit.

    What makes this truck unique is that the body of a '62 Chevy One-Ton PU served as the basis.
    I believe I have read that Dave Puhl actually started the project, before it was finished by Daryll Starbird.

    Your correct Austinrod.... I was going on what was printed next to the picture.... apparently some bad info.... I did some quick research and could not find anything about the Ultra truck being used in any Batman shows as the joker mobile...it was however released by Monogram models as the Orange Hauler......Thanks for bringing that to my attention.... I actually learned something today... hopefully I can keep that going the rest of the day.... IMG_20180518_084830~2.jpg IMG_20180518_084932~2.jpg

  26. Nice! The Road Agent has always been one of my favorite Bubble top show cars. I got to see it in person at Cars of the stars in Los Angeles.

    Trying to work out the wheels/hubcaps on that T-Bird!
    Look like they have some sort of Perspex bubble on them.
    Now that gives me an idea!! :cool:

  29. @Colin HD It's an optical illusion. They are dished Halibrands with spinners and bullets.
