The first Batmobile
According to Heritage Auctions, the Batmobile was built and designed by 23-year-old Forrest Robinson in a barn in 1960. He completed the project in 1963 after replacing the body of a 1956 Oldsmobile 88 with his own custom design. For the next three years it toured the country as an official promotional vehicle before the George Barris-customized Lincoln Futura concept from the TV show took over.
