Barris Batman collection at Volo Auto museum

If you live in Chicago or Wisconsin, you're soooo lucky!

Can anyone tell me WHICH Batmobile is showing there? Curious. Barris was there last weekend signing autographs, but if you know Barris, you know that means nothing.

As far as I know, the 1966 Batmobile replica in Volo is still the Don Currie kit built by Peter Borne.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I just saw the Volo Car Museum on a syndicated show called 'Small Town, Big Deal' and it made me wonder which Batmobile they had, so I looked at the museum site. In the video on this page, it looks like the certificate says it's a 1979 Lincoln, even though the text and video make it sound like it was one of the 60s cars that Barris built. Of course the hosts of 'Small Town, Big Deal' called it the 'original' Batmobile, which I knew it wasn't, but the general public likely wouldn't know that.

The original '66 they had was a Currie. Im not sure if the one on display now is the same car. Mark posted some pictures i sent him a while back. I don't remember what the verdict was.

The current car at Volo is apparently a Doug Hines/Gotham Cruisers kit. I'm not sure of the builder.
