 :lmao: There should be a law against those things...

Thank you for sharing...

The fat guy riding in the "Spohn" is Jimmy Dimora, an Ohio politician who is in the midst of a federal federal investigation of corruption charges related to taking bribes.

So, I suppose this one resides somewhere in Ohio. I can't find anything else about the car. However, the dashboard seems to be that of a 1950's Corvette. Did Spohn built any Chevy-based cars? If so, I'd guess this one was later modified to resemble the Batmobile.

Thank you Otto...I'm pretty sure it is a real Spohn...who will be interested in making a replica of such an obscure (and quite unattractive) car? On the other hand who later converted it in a Buttmobile proved his good taste...

There's so many of these so-called 'Batmobiles' out there that I'm sure someone is going to produce a book on the subject......not my cup of tea but just an observation.

Looks like it's on a truck chassis. A converted pickup?

1970's Batmóvel made by Nélio Carvalho based on a 1958 Citroën.

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.
