Jackson Barrett just showed a retrospective of Barris' work. It's amazing the number of cars he did for Hollywood back in the day!

I get to see one of those semi-regularly. A guy who works in the same building as my wife owns a replica, and occasionally drives it to work. Makes my Grand Marquis look small.

Didn't Batman and Robin buckle up before they got moving? I didn't see any seatbelts.

There's someone around here who built a Batmobile replica, I think he used a 1970s Pontiac for the chassis and drivetrain. You can buy the fiberglass bodies from somewhere.

Also, how many cars he claimed to have built that were actually built by other people.
