    my buddy had this shipped from down east,somewhere out of ontario. it is suppose to be a re-pop of the original mold for the batmobile which was used in the 2nd bat movie. thats all i know

    So is the Batmobile going on top of the Merc? The Merc is cool.

    The front shot of the Batmobile reminds me of Art Arfons LSR car.

    Of course I remember Santo & Johnny and their hit Sleep Walk I have a couple of their albums. One of the import auto makers used it as background for some of their tv commercials a few years ago, can't remember the brand they all look the same to me.
    Didn't know they had the Merc, but it's cool and the time period sure fits.

    One of Arfons first drag cars was painted green and ended up with the Green Monster name. The later cars ended up with the Green Monster name, even though they weren't green.
