This really cool car popped up on Facebook and I had to share it with my car modeling pals. It was a custom fiberglass body put on, I believe, an Oldsmobile frame in 1963. I know you'll enjoy seeing it and maybe it will provide some modeling inspiration.

Actually this car has no affiliation with the Batman franchise. After it was built, an ice cream company that sold Batman and Robin ice cream bars asked if it could be used to advertise them. IIRC the car was originally silver and the current owner had it painted black and orange.

The facebook section has an old color photo of the car with a small ice cream sticker on the door. The paint looks like a dark aqua color. The "before" pics looks like it had a chrome lower grille and chrome headlight bezels. It looks a little funky now with the whole front black with red panels IMO
