The guardian from the demons of the dark and the masked master of psychological warfare has a new vehicle to prowl the street in. It is not a state of the art custom made BMW in which he can swoosh around the corner. This is in fact a Volkswagen of 1940 and it looks almost like a taxi for the Batman rather than a faithful carrier of the ‘Dark Knight’. I wonder if they would have wanted to use this in the latest version but this sure will make the spoof flick, if they ever wish to make one like that.
Well before Adam West donned his sexy skin-tight Bat Suit and hopped into the Ford version of the Batmobile, DC’s “Dark Knight” had a little-known, slightly less sleek sled. The original 1940s era Batmobile was apparently a mix of VW Beetle and Cord style — with the requisite wings and fins, of course. But someone thought that was way too new, so they built a replica of the original Batmobile.
The whole thing is hilarious and I’m sure would put a smile on the face of many. It is nothing new seeing people trying to make vehicles from Hollywood flicks but the homemade rubber wings are truly an unforgettable highlight. Visual delight!

This is a really cool ride. Now I can have my own Batmobile. I first saw this from Autopartswarehouse and it is really cool to transform your VW Bug into a Batmobile.
