The Batmobile used for the TV show before maybe 40 yrs ago or so, is probably a 1959 Dodge that was heavily modified by George Barris, a renowned car customizer.

Adam West's batmobile is a modified showcar. Lincoln I think.

OTEP is right. The Batmobile in the mid-60's TV show is indeed based on a Lincoln concept car. Try searching for it, its all over the Internet.

r u planning to do a frame off restoration?its true chevys are easier to restore than other brands with the availability of parts in the us.The problem is its a four door usually they have very limited repro parts for 4 doors.

and true its the chrome trims and small parts that will really drain your budget.and of course a frame off restoration
