The Lincoln Futura was built by Ford, the body made by Ghia in Italy. While the car was extreme and even impractical it was a fully operable car. George Barris used the car for build the first Batmobile for the movie about a decade later.
The modell is built from a Revell-Monogram kit. To open the middle section of bubble top was an interesting challenge. The other challenge was to make the body straight again because the original plastic was hooked as a propeller !

Wow...I never saw the concept car. Just the Batmobile version. Barris did not do nearly as much to it as I thought. The designers did most of the work. LOL
