I got to meet him a few years ago at the Cleveland, OH AUtorama Show.  I took my semi scratch built Batboat and got his autograph on the center hatch.

He did a lot of great custom cars. I thought I heard that the original Bat Mobile he did was sold. Anybody know if that is true. If so who bought it. I like the Beatnik Bandit. I think that was one of his.

The passing of a true legend. And he's been much on my mind lately, since I'm just a few days short of (at long last) finishing my Revell Futura Batmobile conversion.

Ave atque vale.
