      The Lincoln Futura was more than an inspiration for the 1966 Batmobile. Kustom Kar King George Barris bought the Futura and modified it into the Batmobile. But before Batman, the Futura had was featured on the big screen in the 1959 Movie "It Startewith a Kiss." www.amazon.com/gp/product/6302641977/ref=s9_s imh_co_p27_d...
