Hello,
the base car is a mid 50´s Oldsmobile and is build by George Albright from 1961 - 1963.
The car is called George Albright´s Batcar.
In the years 1964 and 1965 the car used to promoting "All Star Dairy’s Batman and Robin milk, ice cream and fruit drinks"
That´s very cool, 2 years before George Barris build his Batmobile´s.
I find the car by my search for the 1942 Buick Kustom (a other puzzle)

Well done!
Rocket powered, naturally.
Two photos of the car in its present state, with the 324 cid V8, its Oldsmobile steering wheel and the sliding doors.

Ever seen this nice car?
Chances are that you did, and even here on Autopuzzles. But, to my surprise, I couldn't find it here.
If it's already on the site, can an editor merge both puzzles, please?

If not, earn yourself a point by identifying it.

Fully restored, apparently, and with a different paint job, mimicking the first bat mobile (from the comics, not the 1960sTV series) this car resurfaced recently and is about to be auctioned.

Shame on me!
Having found these two pictures yesterday, and subsequently, elsewhere on the internet, tho one of the car in its original silver outfit, I hurriedly proposed a new puzzle in the Rookie section, with this caption: "Ever seen this nice car? Chances are that you did, and even here on Autopuzzles. But, to my surprise, I couldn't find it here."
AND REPOSTED MYSELF!
