unclescott58 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Besides the Lincoln Futura being remade into the TV Batmobile, it also starred in the 1959 film It Started with a Kiss. I thought I mentioned that already. Though I did not post a picture. Still one of my all time favorite cars. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToyLvr Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 And another Corvair-powered rarity, the "Mademoiselle L'Agente Secrete 97", basically a reboxing of the "Man from U.N.C.L.E." TV show secret agent car. I can remember watching the TV show as a kid, but I do not recall a lady secrete agent or the red car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Surprised you guys got 118 posts into this without mentioning this one Another one I did make mention of.

unclescott58 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Okay. Again I have no pictures. But, I believe it was MPC did a couple of the cars from the Wacky Racers cartoon of the late 1960's. And Aurora did Archie Andrew's jalopy from the comic books and cartoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Has anybody mentioned the Fireball 500? The Barris customized Barracuda, from the movie of the same name.And do the Sonny and Cher Mustangs count? Their variety show didn't come out for several years after Barris built the cars. But the cars look like something Barris would have build for TV or a movie. Were they used in an early TV special starring Sonny and Cher maybe?And how about AMT's '65 Riviera kit? From what I remember it could be built as another Barris real custom car. I believe it was called Via Riviera. And used in some "B" movie. I know Barris also did a customized '65 Buick Wildcat, that I seem to remember being in the same movie. Was the AMT '65 Wildcat setup with the customizing parts to duplicate that car too?And of course we have Barris' greatest creatation, the TV Batmobile. But, the car the Barris Batmobile was based on. The Lincoln Futura. Also appeared on the screen with Glen Ford and Debby Reynolds, in it Started With a Kiss. Not a great movie. But, fun to see the Futura before Barris' conversion.And one more. The MPC Thundercharger, again from a movie by the same name. And again based on a Barris custom. Above is my earlier post where I mention the Fireball 500 and the Futura.

Richard Bartrop Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Fun fact: AMT not only built the model fo the Pirahna, they built the real car as well. When I was a kid, I was a big fan of all the Gerry Anderson puppet shows like Thunderbirds, and Stingray, and the vehicles were as much a star of the shows as the characters. Here's a couple of kits of the vehicles from their series "Captain Scarlet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used in the James Darren movie For Those Who Think Young; images from IMCDb: Recognize the taillights?
