Aerial

 

The aerial on the first matt black Batmobile were slightly transparent, you can look the light through.

After the aerial changed from silver. Early mat black have a transparent aerial, i don't know if the later matt black have or not the silver aerial. I see many matt black in photos with silver aerial but i can't tell if it's genuine ou repainted car !!!

The aerial simply changed from silver to grey in 76. They simply didn't bother painting them as it saved money, as the company was in trouble by this time.

The aerials were silver to start with before changing to grey. What i meant there was the paint was stopped being used in the mixing process so they changed to grey.

All models with "Batmobile" logo underside use only the silver aerial. But you can find Batmobile with 8 spoke and tread sided tyres with a grey aerial. Why?


Early 76 models (clear or purple canopy) with the new 12 spoke wheels and "Batmobile" or "National Periodical" logo underside still retain the silver aerial, as they used them until they ran out. Grey aerial come first in 76 models (clear or purple canopy) with the new 12 spoke wheels and "National Periodical" logo underside. But you can find some 8/12 spoke wheels and "Batmobile" logo underside with a grey aerial, why ?? I don't know....


Models with the 12 spoke wheels, light blue canopy and "National Periodical" logo underside use only the grey aerial.

I don't know why these car have a grey aerial. It is a mystery. When they were manufactured???

In anyway these cars are genuine, aerial not changed...
