3 x original BARRIS Photographs of the Batmobile, with accompanying News Release from Barris Kustom City. More 'One of a Kind' ephemera from the office of Marcel Van Cleemput, courtesy of The MBU Collection.
Notes
Discovered in the office of Marcel Van Cleemput the chief designer for Corgi, this is just a sample of the many ephemera items given to the MBU Collector as a thank you for his help with ‘The Great Book of Corgi’.
One of the most exciting models ever produced by Corgi – and here we have a little of the inspirational ‘paperwork’ that helped to create the Corgi 267 Batmobile!
Barris Kustom City created the innovative features of The Batmobile from the Batman ABC television series:
“This automotive wonder was styled and engineered with the many special effects innovations by Barris Kustom City, North Hollywood, California, and is insured for one million dollars.”

News Release from the Public Relations Department Barris Kustom City is included.
