Surely this was Batman 1966's alternate car-build? (it's the 1962 Ford Seattle-ite XXI) (media.piefed.social)

If I understand correctly, the original Batmobile was in fact based on a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car. Kind of wild, as the first Batman TV series launched 11yrs later!

Sorry for the lack of info / pics, but Spectrum basically crippled my internet on Monday, and I'm still trying to figure what the hell's going on.

In any case, here's more pics of this memorable automobile:

Interesting.

I'm not following the "four small wheels on the back" - was that another multi-wheel effort in the 70's?

My knowledge of F1 is nonexistent - I only remembered seeing those 6 wheelers at one point, but I really don't know anything about them.

Well, guess another rabbit hole is in my future.
