Our next stop on the tour was the Great Gatsby room, which features some of the beautiful cars of the art deco age. According to Mr. Dezer, the maroon V12 Cadillac was owned by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Towards the back of the room was an area filled with tables and chairs. Cory informed us that the space, and others throughout the museum, can be rented for parties, events, etc. In my humble opinion, this would be the room to rent, as the cars in this space are truly exquisite. The next room on our tour was the Chrysler lounge, which had a nice collection of early ‘60’s Imperials as well as a few 300 letter-series cars and a beautiful Chrysler Airflow. Next stop, the Bat Cave.

When I think of Batman, I think of Adam West and the Batmobile that was created by George Barris. The 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car did not start out as a platform (Batform?) for the Batmobile. It was a car that George Barris had in his private collection for several years. ABC called Barris with a request to create a Batmobile for theirnew TV show, which was going to start filming in a few weeks.
