Motor Trend Classic: A Sneak Peek | Car News Blog at Motor Trend

Like many of you, I suspect, I had the die-cast model Batmobile made by Corgi in the 1960s (you know, the one that fired the plastic rockets) when I was a kid. So it was a real thrill to get the original full-size Batmobile — and its creator, the irrepressible George Barris — into our new photo studio here at Motor Trend Towers for a photo shoot. Wes Allison’s pictures are stunning, and Arthur St. Antoine’s story a terrific mix of hard-nosed reporting and misty-eyed nostalgia (the photo of a young St. Antoine in a Batman costume is priceless). Ask The Man Who Drives One? We did. Arthur even tracked down Adam West, the original Batman, for an interview.
