This one is a copy but it is done very well. BTW it is train related it's in front of Charlie's.

I saw one as a kid at a big indoor car show. It had what looked like crushed velvet on the out side. Not shiny paint. Got to meet the caped crusader also. I think it was adam west but I was young so I can't remember for sure. I drove my dad nuts saying let's get to the batmobile dad. When can we see the batmobile dad hu hu! You get the picture. Loved that day! Still love that car. Wish I lived near charley's would go in a hart bet! Trains and the batmobile. Holy wowzers that would make my day batman! Thanks chris for the pics!

"Atomic Batteries to Power

Turbines to speed"

I was a kid when the 1989 Batman movie came out with the new(er) batmobile. Some one donated it to the Virginia Science Museum in Richmond. My dad took me to see it. The museum is in the old Broad Street Station in Richmond that was once served by RF&P, Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line. Now it is a Science Museum with some Railroad exhibits like a C&O Kanawa and others or so I've heard. I've only been the once. I remember being impressed by the building and the car. Fun memories.

I'm sure somewhere in that cave is the Bat Train.

Isn't that one of Marty Fitzhenry's? 

The batman car originally started as a wild 1955 concept car developed by Ford.  Here is a pic of what Barris started with:

Thanks for the picture.  Nice car.  But you are being modest.  I believe that is your car parked in the space Charlie reserves for you on Saturdays?  Come on, fess up.......!

That car looks like it's about to cry.

 

And who is HARLES RO?

My friend has one of the original Barris cars and I seem to recall him saying that there was only an 8-10 gallon gas tank and a very small radiator.  Certainly not a daily driver but still very cool!

I wish it were my car!   

 

Hi,

 

Does anyone have a model of the Green Hornet's Black Beauty to show?

 

Dick

Very nice.

Dug through two 3gal buckets of my old cars to find these beat up 1/64 diecast from the 1970's.

Fiberglass Freaks is about an hour from my home here in Lafayette. About a month ago I spent the day chasing the Norfolk Southern OCS and then went over to the shop and got an amazing tour. It's one thing to see photos, but it's something completely different to see these in person. There is a ton of love that goes into building each one of these cars.
