George & Jonnie on the Origin, Concept & Design of TV's Legendary "Batmobile", which began years earlier as the Lincoln Futura Concept Car, and became the most famous car ever created for Television & Film !
SPECIAL NOTE: These RARE, seldom seen photos, along with this exclusive Interview recorded specifically for our WebSite, truly give an inside-look at one of the most unique vehicles in the History of Motion Pictures & Television. It has also become one of the most viewed/listened-to Pages on "The Hall Of Fame Legends" Site.
The Lincoln Futura itself was one of the most beautiful Concept Cars EVER created, and one of my personal favorites of all-time. But, by its customization, and the subsequent new Media Phenomenon it became, it was transformed into a whole new lifeform that still exists today !
Almost an entire week's work went into getting the Audio & Visuals put together for this production. This Special Page, like this entire on-line Series, is truly a labor of love for me, and I constantly strive to bring you only the highest quality, so that all of these Pioneers & Legends can be honored to the fullest.
I've also re-cut the Audio to give you a mini-intro into the Origin of "Batman" himself, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it. JK
