Tulio... in my mind, not many cars better looking than a '67 Galaxie. Just absolutely gorgeous! B)

I agree Harry.

The '67 was probably the best looking Ford to come out of the '60s.

The '61 & '64 were 2 more of my favorites, but I think they did hit the ball out of the park in '67.

That being said, it's a little surprising to me that no one has seen fit to do a new '67 Galaxie kit over the past 49 years!

Hmmm... as good as this car looks, I think the Batmobile was actually an improvement on this design! Especially the opened-up wheelweels... B)

I agree 100%!!!!!!!!!

I'm a fan of both the original and the Bat. Some of the ideas would be used on production cars though the bubble tops were never really in the running.

As to the comments on all the junk Barris put on it! Hey, it was for a TV show about a crime fighter. You don't hear many adverse comments on James Bond's Aston DB5 with all the guns and stuff and that was just as far out as gadgets go.

All the arguments count for nothing if Barris had not bought it, the car may very well have been scrapped looking at the state it was in when he got it.

Fantastic, in both versions

Beautiful job on one of my all time favorite designs. I much I like the Barris Batmobile, unlike Harry, I do not think it was an improvement over the original design. Out of all factory show cars, it's a toss up between the Futura and the Firebird III on which one I like best.

Again. A nice job on the kit.
