Oh, so that's where the idea for the Batmobile came from!




See any similarities??

Saying those two cars look alike is like saying the HHR and the PT Cruiser look alike

Actually the Batmobile was based off of a 1955 Ford Concept Car the Lincoln Futura and was later replaced with a Ford Galaxie transmission and chassis.
This is the Lincoln Futura:

There is so much about it that I like but I still can't quite like. I think they tried to put together so many designs features that is looks a little "thrown together" to me.
