The two photos of "batmobilespohn" in Otto Puzzles reply #13 are in fact an original Spohn Custom '52 Lincoln. This was Lt. Luiscombe's car. It has been re-customized twice since the Spohn livery with the current owner, Ron Heitman, living near Cleveland, Ohio and has rental vehicles for assorted events. The Corvette windshield and dash are part of the later additions as well as the entirely re-formed front end and "bat-tipped" Le Sabre fins.
A previous customization of the car is said to be related to Warner Bros. movie studios in California, possibly for a early Batman film roduction but evidence of such a production is lacking.
Also at one time this car resided in Indiana and is pictured bat-style but with a '62 Dodge full size car grille.
Another recent photo of the car is attached. New frontal character includes '50s Cadillac "Dagmar" bumpers.
