1966 Batman Movie Question?

Post by RJT »

Can anyone tell me the Car Bruce Wayne was driving in the Opening Scene?

Looks like a Gold Cadillac? But what kind?

Thanks,
Robert

Hey Robert, the car Bruce and Dick are driving at the beginning of the movie is a 1966 Imperial Crown.

Here's a recent take on the same model (with a different paint job), as seen on Pawn Stars a few years ago: http://www.automobilemag.com/news/pawn- ... nvertible/

Thanks a lot guys - It was driving me crazy for days.

They seem extremely rare. I'd buy one in a second for my son.

I'll take one too, if you're buying? ;)

I recall that Adam mentions the model of the car in the DVD commentary! And makes some kind of comment about what a great car it was. I'm sure it was, although, compared to modern cars, I'd be afraid to get in a major accident in it!

Don't be afraid - they were built like tanks. In fact, they were disqualified from demolition derbies long ago for being too strong!
