Comics to build exact replicas of the 1966 TV Show Batmobile On January 12th, 1966, the original Batman television series that featured Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin hit the television screens. A year after, a two-year-old Mark Racop vowed that he would someday build the Batmobile on the TV screen before him. Fifteen years later, Racop built his first Batmobile replica, and now he builds 1966 Batmobile replicas for a living. These aren’t model kits, or radio controlled cars–no. Racop’s replicas are full-scale, driveable cars that have sold all over the world. And D.C. Comics recently authorized Racop to build these 1966 Batmobile replicas as officially licensed collectibles. The news instantly went viral. Fiberglass Freaks found itself featured on over 300 websites and blogs, including Gizmodo.com, Neatorama.com, Boingboing.com, Yahoonews.com, carmiddleeast.com, the Wall Street Journal, and in magazines and newspapers all over the world, like Spiegel, Dupont Registry, Telegraph, FHM, Octane, Firebox, and Gasoline Alley.

In spring 1968, at almost the same time the Mark III went on sale, Henry Ford II hired Bunkie Knudsen away from General Motors Corp. to become president of Ford Motor Co. When Knudsen got to Ford, it didn’t matter to him how successful Lee Iacocca, a Ford Welcome to the Vice•President for all cars and trucks, had been at picking winning car designs, or the past relationships Iacocca had forged, especially with Gene Bordinat and his designers.

  • GEORGE BARRIS 1925-2015 King of the Kustomizers
    GEORGE BARRIS 1925-2015 King of the Kustomizers George Barris, the "King of the Kustomizers", died last week. His passing at the age of 89 touched everybody at the Amelia Island Concours. It seems that everyone here has a really good George Barris story. The highpoint of his long involvement with the Amelia Concours must have been 2004, the year Amelia celebrated the custom Mercurys, the "lead sleds" of the early fifties. George with "Big Daddy" Garlits at Amelia. "George was in his glory," said Bill Warner, founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. " He was really on his game when the Hirohata Mercury, with which he and his brother, Sam, were so identified, was presented at the reviewing stand. We asked one of our models to dress in a style that would relate to the car. Out she stepped in a stunning snake skinned body suit with a boa around her shoulders. George did not miss a beat, diving out of the judges stand in order to share the limelight with our beautiful addition to his beautiful car. "George was creative, at times bombastic, and quite the showman. He could rival P.T. Barnum if he was so inclined. As an accomplished photographer, he supplied Robert Petersen all the material he would need to tell the Southern California lifestyle story through the pages of Hot Rod and Rod and Custom. As teenagers on the east coast, our dreams were signed, sealed and delivered every month by George Barris and his "Kustoms". He, indeed, was one of a kind and there will never be another like him".

  • Calendar 2014.Pub
    2014 North Star Calendar Our Friends and their Lincolns The North Star Region Car of the Year The Magnificent Lincoln K for 1937 Owned by Tom Brace Below: Dick Koop of Dardenne Prairie, MO is shown with his very nice 1956 Continental Mark II. Ford wanted a superior and standalone up-market brand aside from Lincoln, to compete with General Motors' Cadillac and Chrysler Corporation's Impe- rial brands. The new Continental was not intended to be the largest nor the most powerful automobile; rather, the most luxurious and elegant American car available, designed to recapture the spirit of the great classics of the prewar period—with prices to match. The Mark II's inspiration was the cele- brated V12-powered Lincoln Continental of the 1940s, among the most notable cars of that War- interrupted decade. Above: June and Lloyd Pearson of Edina, MN are the very proud owners of this 1939 Zephyr three window Coupe. Designed by John Tjaarda (1897–1962), who was fascinated with airplanes, with a Cd of 0.45, the body was monocoque construction and very rigid, but surprisingly light for its size. The first model had a weight of 3,350 lb. The original engine had 110 hp and gave the car a top speed of 90 miles per hour. Suspension was by Henry Ford's beloved transverse springs front and rear, with dead axle front and torque tube rear, already seen as outdated when the car was introduced. Brakes were cable-activated for 1936 to 1938; 1939 and onwards were hydraulic. January 2014 Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 1 2 3 4 Soup Month Chocolate Covered New Year’s
