Thanks I should have taken pics of the stuff Any had in his basment, I was just taking it all in and not pics, I love this crap to much FRITZ
Fritz..thanks for the pixs! Andy Perillo is George Barris' "East Coast Rep." He has a series of replica cars he takes to shows/events. Just recently these showed up at The Fleetwood Country Cruize in London Ontario http://home.cogeco.ca/~lint/cruize.htm So this was a Dick Dean Drag-u-la build at first? I assume then Andy P./Gary upgraded it to T.V. specs/looks. There has been a long debate as to whether Andy's Batmobile replica contains the original 1955 Lincoln Futura steering wheel (changed to an Edsel wheel during the hiatus between season 2/3 (1967/68) on Batman). http://tinyurl.com/jltyr But from photos it looks to be a nice replica and the fact that you stated Gary painted the face, now I'm sure. Rumor is that Andy may have the original stored? That is still unknown. Any chance you could send Gary my email address. I'd like to ask him a couple of things. Thanks
