Batmobile in Philly Mummers Parade?
I caught a brief glimpse of a '66 Batmobile on the news last night while they were talking about the Mummers Parade in Philadelphia. Does the car belong to anyone on this message board by any chance, and if so, how did they work it into the parade style?

I presume it is since I presume there weren't two there. I only caught a glimpse on the news and it wasn't even mentioned.
I noticed something funny in this picture, though. There's apparently a bird statue near the top of City Hall that at a distance in this picture reminds me of a bat shape. LOL

Gleeps - Yes thats my Batmobile and yes we were in the New Years Day parade in Philly. I tried to private message you, but couldn't figure out how to do it. I saw your post and joined this forum just so that I could reply to you. Unbelievably, "66batmanfan" wasn't already taken as a username.

Oh cool. Thanks for trying to PM me. I think you have to have 3 posts before you can do that, and I see that you have 3 now.
Anyway, I was just wondering how the Batmobile fit into the parade, like what was the theme of that particular act? Superheroes maybe? I tried to find it online and had no luck that night, but haven't looked for it since.

Gleeps - the Batmobile was part of the comics, in the "couples" section. First, I'm a member of the comics. Second, because there was both me (dressed as Batman) and my buddy (dressed as Robin) in the car, we were eligible to be in the parade with the car in the "couples" section.

Oh cool, 66batmanfan! Thanks for the reply
Edited to add: I just found a couple of seconds of the Batmobile taken from the crowd. I don't know what aired on TV, though.
