Can you believe that the original Batmobile built by George Barris for the 1960’s television series Batman just sold for an astounding 4.2 million dollars. I believe that is a record price for any artifact from a TV show.
Our own Jeff Dunham comedian/ ventriloquist extraordinaire was in attendance for the sale (pictured above). He is an avid Batman collector and I thought he would be the ultimate buyer but that was not the case. It was in fact purchased by a fellow from Arizona who in an interview said he was going to display the car in his living room.
So you are asking what does this have to do with ventriloquism. Good question. I have been thinking about the so called trickle down effect of the pricing. You see there were quite a few of the original style batmobiles that were built. With the sale of the original at such a high number will that cause the replicas to go up in price?
