    Customizing legend is bringing Batmobile panache to Prius

    By Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY
    LOS ANGELES — He built the Clampetts' jalopy for The Beverly Hillbillies, TV's original Batmobile, the Monkeemobile and KITT, the chatty Trans Am in the first Knight Rider series.

    Barris is a genius!
    Always loved his flair for creativity!

    Old time kustomizer!

    Wish I could afford to have him do mine
