I've see the black and white photos of the matte black Batmobile with the white stripes instead of orange but do any color photos exist?

I have 100GB of 1966 Batmobile video and photos--unfortunately, I have never seen one. That doesn't mean they don't exist, of course, but no one has made them available. One shot of the primer black Batmobile made it into the pilot episode in the scene where Batman pulls the Emergency Bat Turn Lever.

In addition to a color photo of the primer black Batmobile, I would love to see the footage shot of the car at Bronson that was originally part of the screen tests/network presentation. If anyone can find these, it would be super sleuth A. Pennyworth.

I too have not seen a color photo of the pre-production Batmobile. Here is a screen grab from the first episode

and the video clip.

WOW! Awesome screen grab!

I would love to see the white instead of orange. I'm surprised that no color photos have ever emerged.

So, I'm sure Eric Seltzer could answer this, but was the car's pin stripping white in the pilot?

Awesome screen grab. Of all the times I watched these episodes, I never noticed this.

Hi 65, Yes, I saw that photo above earlier in the thread, but is there a better photo? I'll look over on Eric's site and see what I can dig up.
