Looks like a big, real-life Corgi Batmobile.

You brought up a good question..I have never seen a color photo before it was finished

I was told at a car show that cars with flat paint look much better when they use glossy paint with a gloss retarder added to it. It gives the car a better glow and makes the paint not so uneven. I wonder if that process had been done to the Batmobile maybe it would have stayed flat looking and we never would have gotten the glossy version?
Just talking outloud. Lol

I checked through the Greg Jein auction; although there are lots of B&W images of the flat black Batmobile there were no color ones.

Here are a few. Sorry that they are just B&W...
The first photo shoot with Adam and Burt was with the matte black Batmobile...

Anyone know backstory of how Corgi designed the 267? They must have been involved during this time when the chain-cutter was in place.

I had seen the second shot before, but not the first until recently, which reveals nicely the Old Writers Buidling on the Fox Lot in the background.Chuck Williams wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 8:42 am Here are a few.

I love cars painted matte black, but I'm so happy they painted this glossy and added the red.
