The Classic Batmobile

In Batman No. 5, Spring 1941, the classic Batmobile - the distinctive black car with the tall scalloped fin and the intimitating bathead on the front - finally was introduced into the comic books.

The panels below, from the same story, show details of this early Batmobile's design, including the streamlined rear.
