Lincoln Futura concept car, Batmobile 1/24, Revell

June 13, 2025 · in Automotive · · 6 · 167

This is a Revells 1980's boxing of the 1955 concept car. Only one was built and ended up being converted to the in the 1966 TV show. Before that it was seen in the movie "It Started with a Kiss!" where it gained its red paint job.

I earlier converted the same kit to the Batmobile with plastic sheet, and a lot of puddy, this was about the time that Michael Keaton movie came out and they stared showing the old show on TV. I always wanted to do the original kit so after all this time I have, it's amazing how basic and crude these early kits were.

    Cool looking Lincoln, Robert.

  3. Holy concept car. Really nice Robert

  4. Excellent model, Robert!

  5. Beautiful work done on this old kit, Robert @roofrat
    Although nearly identical, both cars do look so differently.

  6. Boy, hard to come up with an uglier vision of the future even 50s style. And yet oddly compelling. You certainly made the most of what the kit offered.
