We have restored specialty cars like the Batmobile and other "one of a kind" special interest cars including the D-528 Mercury Prototype , the only privately owned 50's Ford Prototype known. We also have a special love for the antique cars of the Brass Era from Rochet Schneider touring cars to the indomitable Model T.

The Batmobile is one of the world's most recognized cars. It started life as a 1955 prototype car designed by Ford and called the Lincoln Futura. When the car came to us from the west coast it was in very poor shape. The frame was broken and unstable, the motor on its last legs, and the body and interior were abused and stripped of all their Batgoodies. We were commissioned by the owner to restore the car, and turn it into the finest Batmobile in the world. Eight months later, the Batmobile was completed and it is indeed, the finest classic car ever created. The car was equipped with all its original Batgear, including the chain cutter in the front of the nose, Anti-Crime Computer in the trunk, Batphone (original), view screens, locators, smoke screens, rocket launchers and a burner in the tail which launches a fifteen foot flame. The rebuilt 429 pushes it down the road very quickly and it handles and drives at high speeds like a sports car.  For more information on the Batmobile Batmobile
