See the evolution of the Corgi Batmobile in the following versions :. 1966-67, Corgi Batmobile, gloss black, no towhook. 1967-72, Corgi Batmobile, gloss black, with a towhook. 1972 only, Corgi Batmobile, red tyres, whizzwheels 8 spoke hubs. 1973-76, Corgi Batmobile, black tyres, whizzwheels 8 spoke hubs. 1976-79 Corgi Batmobile, black tyres, whizzwheels 12 spoke hubs. 1979-83, Corgi Batmobile, black tyres, wide whizzwheels. The Corgi Batmobile uses a metal-flake black, which looks neither as deep nor as smooth as the paint on the other two cars. The Corgi Batmobile has the same hood and trunk emblems as the Danbury Mint car, though the definition is not as well done and the emblems tend to get lost. But perhaps the coolest was this vintage Corgi Batmobile. There are reproduction parts available for the CORGI Batmobile, including the box.
Corgi
Corgi made roughly 4 million of these cars over the years.
Batmobile
It started life as a Ford Torino, and for all it's quirks and weirdities, it wouldn't take much to create a very slick-looking Batmobile replica with it. I did some research and I found that it was a Corgi 267 Batmobile. I'll have to take a closer look at the Batcopter, you usually only think about the batmobile when you think on bat's vehicles. And while he was at it, note that he super-detailed his Corgi Batmobile as well- adding red piping, cockpit details like the fire extinguisher and more.
Batman
Batmans pose was changed entirely as the car version couldn't sit behind the Batcopter seat properly. Batman was blue in every version of this car. Corgi tried to expand its batman range in 76 with the penguinmobile and the jokermobile, but these didn't sell well either. However, it was found that the seats were too small to include a scaled Batman and Robin, so the answer was simply to get rid of Robin.
