 Where George Barris can point to the Batmobile as his chef d'oeuvre, his contemporary, Frank DeRosa, can claim this 1960 Cadillac
as his own masterpiece. In fact, Pittsburg,
California based DeRosa, who has since been inducted into the Oakland
Roadsters Hall of Fame, has said that this car was specifically built as
his answer to the Batmobile.
Starting with an Eldorado convertible,
DeRosa stretched the car to more than 20 feet in length and added a roof
from a Buick Riviera, along with a 1953 De Soto grille, 1956 Packard
taillamps, the interior from a 1963 Thunderbird, custom lakes pipes and
his signature padded vinyl top. The culmination of four years of work,
DeRosa originally called it Vendetta, but it has since been nicknamed
the Sharkmobile and the Land Shark.
