BATMOBILE GOING UP FOR AUCTION!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Batman’s ride is up for sale — just the thing for cruising
on those Dark Knights.

The original Batmobile from the 1960s TV series will be auctioned on Jan. 19 at
the Barrett-Jackson auction house in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The 19-foot-long black, bubble-topped car was used in the ABC-TV show that
starred Adam West as the Caped Crusader.

Just like Batman, the Batmobile has its secrets. The auction house won’t say
how much it hopes to get for the car.
