Well, after spending a chunk of that day with Scott Sebring, Mark Racop and a few of his actor friends later in the day (and stopping at the mcdonalds across the street from Barris' shop) I am sorry I had to work that day and make TV! I would have loved to have been there. So at least we have the Feb date to relive it! JUST ONE of these photos would have made all the old board members flip, and rework their cars, I am just in bat overload looking at all 11 pages of info, photos etc. (Sure would have loved to have those temp control photos back then, I would have added that detail. but believe it or not, newbies (those that joined after the early 90's!) we had NO shot of that side of the dash, and then some futura dash photos showed up, (those black and whites with the steering wheel in clay etc.) was the first clear shot of the dash we had ever seen!

The other cocept car in the futura photo was called the "Beldone" when it ws in the movie with jerry lewis, funny scene if you haven't seen it, jerry gets attacked by the car. As the Futura was rusted from it's years of sitting at Barris' shop out in the open, then not tended to in the three weeks it was turned into the bat, a lot of that rust probably dates back to before it was the bat. Even with all of these photos, there are nooks i want to explore still. Interesting stuff! George has always been very open with his shop, and we should count our blessings because not everyone is anywhere NEAR as nice to "fanboys" like us!

there is no question that he still has the #1! Don C. Kevin, Jack, Eric Sharp and Setzter, you all need to be at the get together! this is the ONE trip to "Mecca" I will bring a box of batmobile shirts at a special one time price!
Get them now, or never!

As for what happened to the concept cars, there are a small handfull of wealthy collectors that now have many of the famous survivors of that era of concept cars.

http://setiathome.berkele...forum_thread.php?id=39904 bet there is at least ONE conecept car you haven't seen on this page...

But I can't find what I was looking for, a guy who had posted photos of his conept car collection, including a huge two part "safety car" that came apart, he had a barn full of concepts he had collected. I have stored everything in a big place called the "internet" and it's as easy to find as the ark of the covenant. I know it's in here somewhere. thanks for taking the time to come to my "cave" Mark, and it was great swapping stories.
