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:

I have often wondered if there should have just been a general Retrofuturism community that would have housed multiple “punk” aesthetics. We’d have more frequent posts and interesting new finds.

Also that is quite an amazing guitar.

    Not to veer too cynical, but much of the Fediverse is a wasteland of communities started with great intentions, but insufficient follow-through. Unless it's a highly-popular place that has the critical mass to ignite itself, most communities wind up needing to be supplied by their founder with quality material through the years. Only a few us seem to be that level of crazy. XD
