The One and Only Classic,
Original batmobile from the 1966 to 1968 TV Show. (The Tomaso
Collection)

The vehicle featured in this story may/may not
still be on display. As these pictures were taken during last Summer; August,
2016...
Notes
Ah, although Batman, Robin and everybody else
actually were first heard on the radio Wayback in the 1940's. For many of us,
Batmobile first registered upon our radar screens in the late 1960's, or
thereafter in re-runs, or what my local grocery checker Bob likes to remind me
of as In Syndication! For which even today, Yuhs can catch the TV Show on
certain cable channels, like Seattle's ME TV; but I digress...
And while I've always known I-T was Adam West
as the original Batman, it's funny how it wasn't until last summer that I
learned he's originally a local Warshintonion' boy, when unearthing his
birthplace of Walla Walla, Washington when penning my recent Bat-tome'.

Whilst I've eluded to the fact that it was
when watching Jay Leno Garage's Crime Fighters episode last July, that I found
Thyself ponderin' that epic Questione (above) about how many Batmobiles, with
thee over the top Mr. Leno shoutin' "This is the Best Day ever!" when
goin' thru the Drive-thru with Adam West as his chauffer.
Although NO idea
if Leno could be heard utterin' Stevie GeeTar' Miller's classic line
"Somebody Give Me a Cheeseburger!"
(WARNING: Video' aboves length = 15mins approx)
As definitely, the
original Batmobile, which sold at auction for over $4m as in million dollars!
Is the most valuable of them A-L-L!
