LOS ANGELES—The original Batmobile from the 1960s television
series has sold at auction for $4.2 million.   The 19-foot-long
black, bubble-topped car was used in the "Batman" TV show that
starred Adam West as the Caped Crusader.  The car's owner—famed
auto customizer George Barris, of Los Angeles—transformed a one-
of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into the sleek crime-
fighting machine. On the show, it boasted lasers and a
"Batphone" and could lay down smoke screens and oil slicks.
