Decades of the Batmobile!

http://13thdimension.com/the-batmobile-decade-by-decade/

Brit publisher Eaglemoss has carved out a cool niche for itself over the last several years in the U.S., a sort-of affordable Danbury Mint for comics and sci-fi collectors: superhero chess pieces, Star Trek starships, Marvel and DC figurines.
Their best line , unsurprisingly — is Batman Automobilia, a series of small, high-quality models, featuring a very broad variety of Bat-vehicles going all the way back to the original red roadster.
Check out the link above for the complete article and many more pics of some of these GREAT collectables.

 omeone has taken a classic DeLorean can and transformed it into the ultimate geek mashup vehicle. He’s combined the time machine car design from Back to the Future with the cool and slick style of the Michael Knight's classic car Kit from Knight Rider. The result is an explosion of '80s nostalgia greatness.

THIS is/was the 1st #Batmobile


In 1956, DC Comics (then called National Periodical Publications) officially licensed the first Batmobile to Oldsmobile. Forrest Robinson and friend Len Perham began modifying the car in 1960. They finished their work in 1963, beating the Burt Ward / Adam West Batman series by three years. The car is based on what the dynamic duo drives in the comic books; it's a far sleeker (if smaller) car than the 1939 Cadillac driven in the Batman movie serials of the 1940s.

Batmobile Replicas for Sale


Photo: 20th Century Fox/The Everett Collection
Holy tricked-out ride, Batman! The '60s-style Batmobile is now available -- for those with Bruce Wayne bank accounts -- in life-sized replica form.
DC Comics has officially licensed Fiberglass Freaks to re-create, down to the flame throwers (working, natch), the futuristic car that the Caped Crusader drove in the 1960s TV series.
For $150,000, you too could keep Gotham City safe. Or at least look really, really cool while sitting in traffic.
Each car frame is built around a 1970s Lincoln Town Car. And only eight of these hand-crafted beauties roll off the factory floor each year. Company founder Mark Racop has been perfecting the design pretty much his entire life, way before he got the official go-ahead. According to his website, the Batmobile-obsessive fell in love with the car from the show at the tender age of two.
The cars are road-ready and come equipped with a GM 350 crate engine, Radir wheels with custom bat spinners, and a paint job only a superhero wanna-be could love. And need we mention the bat-wing shaped tail fins? This car gives new meaning to joy ride.
And because these wheels are pimped up, the 1966 Batmobile also comes equipped with  some very 2010 additions: a DVD player with LCD screen in the dash (to play re-runs of the series, obviously) and a high-end stereo to blast the "Batman" theme song.
Cape not included.
