Corgi Batmobile: Tough to Find Good Material Here

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. 

Corgi Batmobile: Batman

Batman drove the car that was made as the hip toy, the Corgi Batmobile.  That car we had to make for it was a show back in New York. And when they come to me, they all were - we were in - at a meeting and they said, well, we want to have this car done for Pontiac, which was John DeLorean. Barris built two fiberglass copies of the original Batmobile for exhibition on the car show circuit and a third for exhibition drag racing . Eventually, the three copies were covered with a black velvet "fuzz" paint, presumably to hide stress cracks in the fiberglass bodies. Barris also took molds of the car to create a number of duplicates to tour the country, which they still do! You may have seen one covered with deep purple flocking - this was to hide the years of stress fractures on these fiberglass copies.

Batman thunders through Gotham City in a high-tech ride that strikes fear into the criminals of the city with its combination of speed and power. Prominently featured in the movie, it includes electronics that bring key scenes to life. Batman seems to be pretty active guy who also likes to play some golf when he is not occupied with chasing for Joker. But, when you are Batman then you have to keep your image and you cannot go to golf fields with usual golf cart.
