Barris’s Batmobile, Adam West’s wheels in the 1966-68 TV series, began life as the Lincoln Futura concept car. Designed by Ford and built by Ghia in the mid-1950s at a reputed cost of $250,000, bargain-hunting Barris later acquired the car for the nominal sum of a single dollar. When Batman’sproducers came calling for a car at short notice, a whirl...
Barris also had a hand in the creation of the Hoff-hassling Knight Industries Two Thousand. With autonomous driving ability and voice recognition tech that actually worked, this Pontiac Trans Am was a car truly ahead of its time…
Two Halloween-themed hot rods were built for the 1960s sitcom – the Munsters Koach, built on a lengthened Ford Model T chassis (background, above) and the ‘DRAG-U-LA’ (in the foreground), a low-line dragster reputedly built around a real coffin.
The unfeasibly popular 1960s fish-out-of-water sitcom needed an authentically down-at-heel redneckmobile for the Clampetts to tool around in. Step forward Barris and his crew, and a rusticana contraption that began life as a 1921 Oldsmobile truck.
Created for actor and comedian Redd Foxx, this tilt-cabbed custom combined insane proportions with a supercharged 392 cubic-inch Chrysler engine. Equal parts spectacular, confusing and terrifying.
The popsters’ mutated Pontiac GTO was created by designer Dean Jeffries, although Barris went on to buy and tour one of the two original show cars extensively, and created a further replica.
Twice winner of the ‘America’s Most Beautiful Roadster Trophy’, the Ala Kart was an oddly alluring mashup of Model T Ford, flathead pickup truck and Chevy Impala.
A promo vehicle for the Vox amplifier and guitar company, the Voxmobile doubles as a giant amplifier, and carries an on-board electric organ. Naturally.
Another Dean Jeffries creation, the Chrysler Imperial from the original TV show starring Bruce Lee boasted a feast of Q-branch-style gadgetry by Barris and his team, including concealed guns, headlamp flaps, an electric trap door – and rocket launchers.
A spectacular privately commissioned project, the Merc bit stands for Mercury Club Coupe (it’s definitely not a Mercedes). Chopped top, hand-formed body panels and unique light treatment, it’s one of Barris’s most celebrated customs.

- Jurassic Park tour vehicles. In Hollywood movies, technical experts are usually listed in the credits. This lets audiences know who worked on what and acts as both resume and demo reel.
- The Batmobile. In 1965, the TV studio Greenway Productions asked the automobile customizer Dean Jeffries to start reshaping a 1959 Cadillac for a then-upcoming show.
- The Emperor. Roadsters are defined as luxury two-seater cars without roofs. Unlike convertibles and their fold-away roofs, if you get caught in the rain while driving a roadster, you're gonna get wet.
- Voxmobile. Every car is essentially a billboard in motion. Different car models advertise the engines, safety features, and aesthetics of their respective manufacturers; well-kept used cars show you can purchase quality vehicles at less than market cost; and custom cars tell the world what an imaginative engineer and a boatload of cash can create.
