...we went on vacation to FL and, in one of those run-down, "roadside museums of the absurd", they had the "Real Bonnie & Clyde Death Car", a 1934 Ford chock full of what appeared to be bullet holes. I have no idea if it was the actual car (timeframe/location; 1976/somewhere just outside of Orlando), but it sparked an interest in famous and infamous automobiles.
IIRC, the year after (1977), we were vacationing at Niagara Falls and we saw "the original Batmobile" at Skylon. Except, instead of paint, it was covered in a felt-like finish(?). It made skeptical that it was the "original" Batmobile since I clearly recalled the one in the TV series being quite shiny. 
P.S. Dillinger had vanity plates? No wonder it was easy to track him down at the theatre. I guess the Woman in Red wasn't needed... 
On edit: In the 1970's they sent the original Batmobile on tour and repainted it with a velvet-like finish to cover stress cracks in the fiberglass? https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/302826-batmobile-covered-in-velvet/ - why not just use Bondo and repaint it?
