The original Batmobile from the 1960s television series Batman has sold at auction for $ 4.2 million. A spokeswoman for Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. says the winning bidder has not been disclosed following yesterday's auction. The 19-foot-long black, bubble-topped car was used in the Batman TV show that starred Adam West as the Caped Crusader. The car's owner—famed auto customizer George Barris—transformed a one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into the sleek crime-fighting machine.
On the show, it boasted lasers and a "Batphone" and could lay down smoke screens and oil slicks. Barris' publicist says his client is pleased with the auction result.
