10 Of The Coolest Kustom Classics

April 29, 2018

The Batmobile

Now this had to be mentioned. Probably the most famous kustom car of all time, I mean, come on, it’s the god damn Batmobile. Another George Barris creation, this car began as a one-off Lincoln concept, the Futura. In just three weeks, it was transformed into the vehicle that would be made famous around the world in Adam West’s run as the Caped Crusader. Herb Grasse, an associate designer, drew up the plans, and George’s team set to work.

The tail fins were reshaped, the wheel wells opened, and a custom exhaust, created from a 5 gallon paint tin, was fitted. The aforementioned Bill Cushenberry also worked on the car, making numerous changes to the car’s metalwork. A custom paint job finished the kustom off, and it was delivered to the studio. Following the series’ run, Barris kept the car, showing it off at countless public appearances in the decades since. In 2013, Barris finally parted company with the car, selling it for a cool $4.2 million to an anonymous buyer in Virginia.
