1963年製のオリジナル版バットモービルが13万7千ドルで落札 (英文のみ)



It’s cool, it’s classy and it’s just sold for 137,000 dollars. Yes, it could only be the original Batmobile.

classy … しゃれた、スタイリッシュな

The car was sold at auction over the weekend and it’s the first time the 1963 Batmobile was up for sale in decades.

up for sale … 売りに出される

A massive fan of the DC comics superhero spent three years customising a 1956 Oldsmobile 88 to resemble the car that Batman used in the comics from 1940’s to the 1950’s.

Forrest Robinson who made the comic car a reality completed his Batmobile in 1963 and it became so popular that DC Comics leased the car from him.

make ~ a reality … ~を実現する
lease ~ from ~ … ~から~を借りる

But he’s not the only one to give it a go. George Barris created a car for the TV series in the 1960’s, and that one sold for massive 4.2 million dollars at auction last year.

give it a go … 試しにやってみる、挑戦してみる
