This is the progression of this car ...
When it was in its red phase it was in the 1959 movie, "It Started With A Kiss" starring Glenn Ford and Debbie Reynolds.
The IMCdB has a bunch of pics and some interesting stuff about this 1955 Lincoln Futura -

I never thought I'd see the day, but it has been announced that George Barris will actually auction off the #1 Batmobile at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in January in Scottsdale, AZ. This is the one, true Batmobile featured on the 1966 TV series and movie. I got to see it up close and personal in March of 2011 during my last visit to the L.A. area (that's me with the car, above.) I can't believe this car may end up in the hands of a private collector. It's difficult to predict what it may sell for, but since it's arguably the most famous car in the world, I'm predicting it may sell for a million or more!
