The original Batmobile from the 1960s television series has sold at auction for $4.2 million US.
A spokeswoman for the Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. in Scottsdale,
Ariz., says the winning bidder has not been disclosed following
Saturday's auction.
The 19-foot-long black, bubble-topped car was used in the Batman TV show that starred Adam West as the Caped Crusader.
The car's owner — famed auto customizer George Barris, of Los Angeles
— transformed a one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into the
sleek crime-fighting machine. On the show, it boasted lasers and a
"Batphone" and could lay down smoke screens and oil slicks.
The publicist for Barris says his client is pleased with the auction result.
