Just In Time For Christmas: Batmobile and Batcycle Reproductions Go Up for Auction

There's no shortage of cars we lusted after when we were kids, but few draw the kind of awe in children's eyes quite like the Batmobile. The kids growing up today may long to drive the Tumbler, but for the children of the ‘60s, it was the original finned roadster. Inspired by the Lincoln Futura concept of 1955, the original Batmobile was built on the base of a 1959 Cadillac and went on to star alongside Adam West and company in the original Batman television series and subsequent movie.
