The 19-foot (5.79-meter) -long black, bubble-topped car was used in the “Batman” TV show that starred Adam West as the Caped Crusader.
The car’s owner – famed auto customizer George Barris, of Los Angeles – transformed a one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into the sleek crime-fighting machine. On the show, it boasted lasers and a “Batphone” and could lay down smoke screens and oil slicks.
Barris’ publicist says his client is pleased with the auction result.
