The "Japanese Batmobile"

We're not much better...how many Black Beauty clones have been done?

A travesty....every one.
There's a '65 Imperial coupe on ebay at the moment which was destined to be butchered into yet another Black Beauty, fortunately, the owner can no longer afford to go ahead with his intended project.
 
Funny as I spent some years in the 1960's living in Japan I have never heard of this car. I was a Speed Racer fan with this car. Of course it was in Japanese when I saw it before it was bought to the states. THE MACH 5!!!!!

The best cartoon/movie car ever, the Mach 5.
Speed Racer is still awesome.
 
Me-T.V. Saturday nights
You know Pete, that ME TV station is one of the hottest networks in the country! My wife and I watch it all the time, way better than the crap the have on most others!

Was it this one? I remember this one but not in the hi-res and color of YouTube more like B&W on a grainy distant UHF channel.


I'm pretty sure that's the one. LOL

Last night me and my Fiancée went to her Christmas party otherwise I would have watched "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" with Don Knotts. What great comedy.
 
That is the one! Although they are both dopey! Now anyway... But when you were a kid....

I'don know, I think Batman and Lost in Space were just coming on the TV around then, that was more professional hokey than that lol I did fast forward through that episode and it does have a catchy jingle at the end and I checked the credits to see if someone famous was in it. Nothing, butkiss...
 
That poor car lost all of it dignity! Now it has to live the rest of its life dressed like a damn clown. Not cool
