The TV Batmobile has always been my favorite !! Love when it comes flying out of the tunnel. ✊️

[@FusionKidd]

*Correction: The Batmobile is a customized 1955 Lincoln Futura. Apologies for the mixup!*

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

More specifically, a Lincoln Futura *concept* car. It was never a production model.

[@richardcastro1276]

Here are the details... and the concept was in white: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Futura

Cat Woman stitting atop a Jaguar. How "purr-fect".

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

2:30 - Judging by the shape of the Dagmars on the front bumper, I'd say the flipped over Rolls-Royce is actually a '54 Cadillac.

[@yoyodynepropulsionsystems]

Batman must have the most expensive line up of cars in the history of 1960's television shows.

[@paktype]

Agreed!!

I still watch this 1966 Batman TV show.

So Well Done!!! Thank You!!! All the Cars from my Era. Excellent Mini Documentary!!! 👍

[@brianevans5616]

I really enjoyed seeing this. Great video

[@circomkt]

Holy research, Batman!

[@SlickTim9905]

Funny...this series is as old as I am. I thought the Joker Mobile (everything was called a mobile at that time) was related to Grandpa's dragster on the Munsters. But,....notice something. The remote control unit they used to stear the batmobile was the early version radio controller. This during a time when we still had black & White tv's the size of a dresser.

[@manthony225]

I remember Cat Woman mentioning her "Cat-illac" 😂

[@billsmith1770]

great job identifying the vehicles .

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

A real nice way to see the cars of yesterday. Thanks Kidd, as always I love your stuff.

[@welleffitthen]

Videos keep getting better and better. At 5:00, what better car for the Catwoman than a Jaguar, and the car she has at the end of this video I'd swear was also in bewitched, made by endora for darwood!

[@davidparker8221]

It is the same car in Bewitched, just "cat- agorically" modified.

[@cybervision_1]

Your videos on KZbin are so precisionly made, right to the point of accuracy.

I also have the 20th Century Fox DVD set. I am old enough to have watch it on primetime ABC Network TV and I did so! The Batman television series was produced by 20th Century Fox and aired on the ABC (American Broadcasting Company) network. Dave...

Obrigado por resgatar essa série inesquecível pra nossa geração!

[@mundanestuff]

Hard to believe the series only lasted three years. Amazing combination of cars reported here. Any one of which would be a pleasure to own!

[@AndrewLoukidis-jr2bp]

The 60's were just too far out and cool. Every show or character has a wild custom car. The Monkee mobile is one of my faves.

[@Pro1er]

Thanks to Batman, this was your best video yet, It must take you ages to put these videos together!

[@petestaint8312]

Fantastic video! Thanks for posting. 👍

[@jz55859]

If you owned all those vehicles now you'd be as rich as, well, Bruce Wayne.

[@Eduardo-uo7qs]

Wow! What can I say? Great, awesome. That is a great idea to identify all the cars. Congratulations Rio-Brazil

[@johnh5701]

At the 2:00 mark, the Rolls Royce sequence is a different car in the different scenes. It starts all black with red seats that may or may not be a Silver Cloud I. The next scene shows a Silver Cloud III which is 1963-66 because of the 4 headlight configuration. The final scene is a Silver Cloud I (or possibly II depending on the year), but it is now two tone with gray seats. It is obviously 3 different cars!

[@generovinsky7228]

This is awesome! brings me back big time! TY.

[@billyf2833]

Pierce Arrows, Duesenbergs, Imperials, Rolls Royce,... Holy expensive!

[@apollosungod2819]

Holy Car fanatics, Batman! this guy is losing his mind noticing all of the now classic cars and custom cars in the Batman TV series!

[@noahrobin1941]

If I may: @01:30, the Riddler actually ducks behind the Pierce Arrow, and pierces Robin with an arrow. :)

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

That is such a great observation! Here's something I found in at least two episodes: In The Black Widow episode, the overview of Gotham City is Boston, MA. It's from 1968, so the newer Hancock Tower isn't there yet, but you can clearly see the old Hancock, the Prudential Tower and, what first grabbed my eye, the gold dome of the Massachusetts State House. I'm a Bostonian, born and bred (and butter...), so seeing that gave me special pride.

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

It's an arrow inside the gun but on Robin shoulder it's actually a hypodermic needle

[@kevinhamblin951]

I saw a production “ Batmobile “ in 1968 at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds it must have been the far away one …. the interior was rough and the gauges were painted on 😊 Thanks Fusion Kidd ….. ok I was a teenager

[@brandbryce]

love these, great narration, research + editing

[@RedneckSpaceman]

I turned 8 in January of 1966! 2 new shows!! Batman and Star Trek!! Shortly afterwards, The Green Hornet!!! I was absolutely captivated!! Then there were these other shows that sort of parodied the Super-Hero craze of the day! Captain Nice and Mr. Terrific!! Of course, the Vehicles just blew me away!! Then there was the USS Enterprise! The absolute most badass Spaceship ever!! Here it is 2024 and the Original Constitution Class Enterprise still holds up! Of course, 10 years after Trek was cancelled, a new updated (Refit) Enterprise hit the big screen! That particular Space Ship is still the absolute most elegant and magnificent ever!! To this day, there is NOTHING that outclasses her!!

[@gregjo5141]

[@mikeadams2677]

To me, there's not much noticable difference between the '66 Imperial Crown and the '65 Imperial that was used as Black Beauty in the Green Lantern series. Beautiful cars either way.

[@dr.plutonus1496]

In the clip from episode 1, Molly & The Riddler set off in a Series I Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, but in the next shot it's a Series III - distinguished by its twin headlights, as opposed to the single headlights of the Series I. Holy continuity error Batman! 😂

[@ianengland9549]

4:31 fun fact some of the sets they chase false face and wear some bits and pieces of Mayberry if you don't believe me just look very closely on that one scene you can see the Mayberry squad car.

[@ronmarvicsin7709]

Most of you won’t believe me but my late Uncle Sam Marvicsin, painted the original Bat Mobile. My best guess since I was about 6 yrs old was 1967. I have a photo of him squatting down doing the red pin strip.

[@generovinsky7228]

I believe you

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

The batmobile was created in 1965 and they were filming the Batman movie to debut in January of 66

[@robster6820]

[@Marcg-b4n]

Who had the 1966 Corgi Batmobile as a kid?

[@chrislong3938]

Great video but I wish that omnipresent 65 Beetle got more notice! It's in almost every episode! I think that only the Batmobile gets more screen time!

[@rebeledvid]

Great collection! On a completely different note, how about a story of the 1928 Porter starring in My Mother The Car? There were also a lot of classic cars that Captain Manzini owned shown in that series. Jerry Van Dyke said they should have called the show My Brother The Star. Too bad he didn't choose the offer of playing Willy Gilligan in Gilligan's Island.

[@wsandell]

Not to take away from this great video, but FWIW the Sunbeam Alpine at 7:18 is a Series V. The Series IV had metal panels that covered the convertible top when stowed, and the vinyl cover shown in the video was introduced on the Series V. Another clue is the square corner doors and hood (bonnet), which were only on the Series V.

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

What is fwiw

[@wsandell]

A friend of mine used to own the Batcycle from the movie. I remember him telling me it was a Yamaha. He sold it several years ago and I think it's in a museum now.

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

No wonder I have so much class for cars I didn't realize this when we were watching the Batman movies for all of these cars I know them and I love them and I'm thankful for you to tell me about what the vehicles are this is realer than what we're dealing with now

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

If I had money to burn, I would have a replica built for me but with a twist: It would be a full-EV. Consider this: Robin jumps into the Batmobile and says, "Atomic Batteries to Power, Turbines to Speed." That atomic pile at the rear of the Batcave was there to provide the atomic power to the Batmobile. Hence, it was an EV.

[@jasonrodgers9063]

What does an EV use a TURBINE for? What's the source of the FLAMES shooting out of the rear of the Batmobile? Or, we could just "roll with it", and be entertained!!

I always have to laugh at these shows when the crimefighters always get the best parking space there is when they drive up to whatever building or place they are going to. I see that in Batman, Magnum P.I. and other shows known for their vehicles.

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

[@chuckh.2227]

Very cool

[@DismayingObservation]

Fantastic info! The only corrections I believe are necessary come at the 9:00 mark. The Cadillac appears to be a ‘65 while the Mustang which drives by in the foreground is a ‘67. Otherwise, incredible work and incredibly entertaining.

[@rss1956clipper]

Don't know about the Mustang but the video is correct about the Cadillac. It's a 1966. You can tell because the cornering lamp is in the fender, rather than being attached to the front bumper assembly. 65 cornering lights filled the whole space between the headlight and wheel well below the trim line and above the bumper. Also, You can see the divider bar in the grille, which also marks it as a 1966. Edit: that's the convertible at 9:00. You can see the differences by looking at the Cadillac at 9:12, which is a 65 and shows the bigger cornering light nicely. Great video, I'm really enjoying these (and still hoping for Perry Mason one day!)

Why it called *"Batmobile",* not *"Batcar ?"*

[@richardcastro1276]

Sounds better... Saying automobile seems nicer than saying car. Now everything else Batman owns and builds is said to have Bat in front.. Batbelt, etc... Now the reason is the sound is more natural to most people Bat + automobile = Bat-automobile which easily flows more softer into.... BATMOBILE Harmonics!!!!
