Subject: FALL MEET MOTEL
I just heard that one of our members tried to register at the host hotel,
and
was quoted a rate of $125 per night. It turns out that we have reached
our
specified number of rooms (50), and that the overflow was quoted the "rack
rate". The hotel has added 5 more rooms to our Club at the original lower
rate,
and more may be added, if the hotel is not sold out. So if you are
coming,
reserve the hotel room NOW, to lock in our rate. McTaggart

Subject: Alternate Hotel for Dayton Meet
If the host hotel (Marriott) is sold out, the overflow hotel is the Dayton
Holiday Inn South, about a mile and a half from the Marriot. The
telephone
number is 937 294 1471. Unfortunately, since the Holiday Inn is not the
host
hotel, I was not able to obtain a special rate for this hotel. If anyone
is
forced to the Holiday Inn, let me know, and I will provide directions to
the hotel,
and from the Holiday Inn to the Marriott. McTaggart

I've never done this before and the manual is a little vague on the
subject. I have adjustable push rods and am not sure how to set them.
Any suggestions?

Subject: 1960 300 F
Dear Members:
I'm a little tired of hearing how our Chrysler 300 F's are considered to
be
Batmobiles. And, by the way has anyone who refers to the 300 F as the
Batmobile ever bothered to find out what car was actually used in the Bat
Man and
Robin Show?
Preferably the one with Adam West?

Subject: 300 F Batmobile
The old Batmobile on the Batman and Robin show with Adam West was put
together out of an idea car by Ford Motor company and converted. It was a
Lincoln and
I think I remember, without looking it up, the name was Ventura. The
person
doing the conversion work was George Barris. It was a nice looking car
before
it became the Batmobile. Quentin Smith

Anyone know the factory finish for the 3 battery hold down parts?
I know the crossover piece had rubberized ends.
Were the posts cad plated?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: 1960 300 F
I get it with my car too, especially with the top down around town. Look
it's the Batmobile! I must admit, I've done it myself.
I have photos of the real Batmobile. It was shown at the Palo Alto
Concours a couple of years ago. I chatted with the owner for awhile about
the car, and he mentioned that he found it in a museum somewhere in the
East, and I believe he said they had made 2 or 3 of them, this being one
of them.
I looked it over pretty well, and it is everything I remember from the mid
'60s TV show and the feature films. Double canopy etc. He did add a
powered saw blade that retracts back into the grille, because it was in
one of the scenes from the movie, but lacking on his car.
He offered up some interesting stories of being pulled over by the CHP for
the purpose of obtain a photograph of the officers with the car. He'd be
the life of the party if he showed up with the car and a Batman outfit on!
I believe the Batmobiles were made from a Ford concept car(s) but I'm not
certain.
You know that starter sound you hear in the Batman movies and TV shows?
Right after Batman and Robin say "batteries to power", "turbines to
speed",? Well, it's the actual sound of a Chrysler Turbine Car starting
up!

Subject: Re: 300 F Batmobile
I was born and raised in Lincoln Nebraska. In 1967 I share a house with a
couple of other single guys one of whom was into the auto show circuit in
quite a big way.
There was a rather large show of rods, customs and special interest autos
scheduled to take place at Lincoln's city convention center and the
Batmobile was to be featured as a one of the special attractions.
The car arrived several days before the commencement of the show and the
exhibitors in charge of showing it needed a place to store it until it
could
be set up at the convention center. My friend who was into the auto shows
was asked and he agreed that it could be stored at our home in our garage.
It did spend several days there so we got to look it over quite carefully.
Even the most casual lookover indicated that this was a Lincoln Automobile
of some vintage. It looked thirty feet long as it was a
convertible(probably closer to 20 feet however) and as I remember was done
in a black primer. The interior had all the gauges and other geehaws done
in some type of orange or green florescent paint and the overall
appearance
up close and personal was really quite a pile of shabby and tacky
workmanship.
It was built for television and on those sets available in those days(I
suspect high def tv may have proved its undoing) it did what it was
designed
to do. It fooled all of into believing that this was really a cool car
and
helped put or keep Barris on the map but it certainly could not be
something
of which he could be too proud.
However we still felt pretty hot having the Batmobile at our home for a
few
day. Also I believe we were somehow led to understand that this was only
one of several editions of the Batmobile floating around. Perhaps if this
were true another could have been of much higher quality then the one that
I
got to know for a few days

Subject: Re: 300 F Batmobile
I'm pretty sure it was the Lincoln "Futura" concept
car from 1954 or thereabouts that Barris used to make
the Batmobile. There was an article in maybe Car and
Driver several years ago that detailed how many
Batmobiles were built. They were Ford chassis with
427 engines...
