Original 'Batmobile'

[Tim Hacker/Tribune] | Posted: Monday, January 21, 2013 1:33 pm

The original Batmobile, from the 1960s TV series, was auctioned off last weekend at the Barrett-Jackson auto show in Scottsdale. The buyer was Ahwatukee Foothills resident Rick Champagne, who purchased the iconic vehicle with a winning bid of $4.2 million. The 19-foot-long, black, bubble-topped car was used in the TV show that starred Adam West as the Caped Crusader. Famed auto customizer George Barris transformed a one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into a sleek crime-fighting machine. [Tim Hacker/Tribune]
