Logansport - While the auto industry gradually gets back on its feet, there's one Indiana car maker that hasn't suffered during the recession. In fact, business is booming in a Logansport workshop.

"It's really, really cool. I pinch myself daily to remind myself that this is not a dream," said Racop.

It continues with passionate craftsmen who help reincarnate a relic from the past. Racop and Sanberg reproduce exact replicas of the 1966 Batmobile at their small workshop in Logansport, Indiana.

The original was based on a Lincoln concept car that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in the mid to late 50’s. My neighbor owns one of the six original BatMobiles from the television show. He treats it like crystal. His Christmas decorations on his home are Bat Man themed.

The Cincinnati Enquirer used his car in a photoshoot with Chad OchoCinco and T.O. earlier this year when they tried to market themselves as Bat Man and Robin.

He occassionally drives it through the nieghborhood on Summer evenings. The kids and the dads go wild when he does.
