The classic George Barris Batmobile based on the one-off 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car. Prior to having a starring role in Batman, the Futura, with a bright red paint job, had appeared in the 1959 film, It Started With A Kiss, starring Glenn Ford and Debbie Reynolds.
The Batboat created for the 1966 Batman movie by Glastron Industries using a Glastron V-174 speed boat.. The world premier of the movie was held in Austin, Texas, where Glastron Industries is based.
The Batcopter which was a leased Bell 47 helicopter. The Eaglemoss model even carries the FAA registration number N3079G. To make it look like a superhero vehicle huge canvas wings were added which reduced it's power by nearly fifty percent.
Although a leased Harley Davidson with side car was used in an early episode of the Batman series, a new Batcycle was made for the movie based on a Yamaha Catalina 250.
Finally, Batgirl's, Batgirl cycle as seen in season 3, was based on a Yamaha YDS-5E, and customised by the prop department at Fox Studios.
