Yes, this is a Batmobile, a well done Batmobile. It mimics all of the iconic design features of The Batmobile, but in a more economical package. If you’re on a budget, or are looking for a good project for whatever you have wasting away in the back 40, keep in mind that done well, it can convey the same sense of impact and desire as the real thing. As you probably know, the 1960s TV Batmobile was the creation of George Barris based on the Lincoln Futura showcar of the 1950s. Since there are no Lincoln Futura concept cars floating around anywhere, you either painstakingly recreate the whole car, or take a shortcut and just start with whatever. In this case “whatever” is this 1963 Ford Falcon. And it works. It won’t be mistaken for the original TV show car, yet it could be. This Batmobile gets the HOT ROD stamp of approval.
