It's a 1930s Batmobile... or a staff car from some dark-but-stylish Evil Regime... or Our Hero's car as he dashes around the Dark and Dangerous City...

Somebody make this in 1/56th, please?

Not the most flattering reflection, LOL.

I'll take one, please. Minus the mook in the shorts and dark socks;)

Thank you for posting this , I saw A short film on this car a couple of years back and could'nt remember the car's name. I think it was the pop.science short mentioned in the wicapedia link I seem to recall the interior being quite impressive and advanced for 1938 too ! There might be a modelout there but I doubt it's in 1/56 :'(but we can always hope

Brooklyn Models and Hot Wheels made a 1/43 model, but I believe they are OOP.  eBay might be the place to look, but both are fairly rare.

Yes - somebody do one in 1/56. My Pulp hero needs to arrive in one of those!

Oh, my, my... 

Can't you just see The Man of Copper and his faithful assistant/chaufer Ranjit Singh leaping out of that little beauty to take on the scum of Waterfall City?

Cos I can.

Too many pain meds today.
