One of Barris's cars became a production car
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5eTkXkMpYg

This video showcases some of the most intriguing concept cars of the past. The Buick "Y-job" was the first concept car. It was also the first to be equipped with power windows! The '51 Buick Lesabre sported a rain sensor that would trigger the convertible top switch when it would get wet. Notice something familiar about the '55 Lincoln Futura? It was the car that George Barris modelled the original Batmobile after! The '55 Ford Mystere has an uncanny resemblence to the car in Toy Story 2 driven by "Al the toy collector". It's truly unfortunate that some of these cars never made it to production. I hope you enjoy this video.
