Lincoln Futura Concept 1954

[caapa]

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 !

Seems like a tough build. Came out way cool.

Very nice build.

[Deathgoblin]

Very nice. You can definitely see the resemblance to the finished Batmobile.

To the Bat cave! I like the Futura in its pre-Barris form almost as much as I like the Batmobile it later became.

Outstanding build of a very primitive kit. Beautiful.

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

[Draggon]

Thats quite nice! This is the first time I have ever seen the bubble top opened. Great job!

[Chuck Most]

Nice!

that thing looks angry from the front end and crazy looking from the back of the car.

[RancheroSteve]
