Still more BatArt with Fireball’s BATMAN AND ROBIN Batmobile… and DID YOU KNOW?? This ’97 Bat was a wild, single-seater design inspired by Jaguars, featuring a Chevy engine, custom bat-tread tires, and a massive 33-foot length, while the classic 1966 version hid flaws with black velvet paint and used repurposed items like paint cans for its turbine, with Robin often holding on tight due to Adam West’s difficult driving. Both iconic rides had quirky realities: the ’97 model prioritized style over practicality, and the ’66 Batmobile was built in just three weeks with hilarious improvised parts like lawn sprinklers for oil slicks, making it a fun, flawed classic.

Today’s Fireball ZANY ZIPSTER is the LOBSTER JET, in for repairs due to a bit of an Octopus Problem… But no worries, they’ll get it fixed.

And lastly, a great Vintage Snap of AUTOPOP Star ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY! DID YOU KNOW?? Elizabeth Montgomery, the iconic star of Bewitched, was a fan of luxury vehicles and was known to own several classic cars. Montgomery owned a 1977 Bentley T2 Saloon with the personalized license plate “BENTLIZ”. This car was part of her estate sale in 1999 and was still in the Los Angeles area as of a few years ago. She was the original owner of a 1958 Packard 58L and kept it for nearly 30 years, until 1987 and in addition to her luxury cars, her collection included a more practical 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass, which was also offered at her estate sale for $4,000. During the first two seasons of Bewitched, Chevrolet was the primary sponsor of the show, and Chevrolet cars were frequently featured, with Montgomery appearing in integrated commercials for vehicles like the new Chevy II.
