HOLY MARVEL--It's the Batmobile

Classic Caddy Tours While visiting Savannah, I finagled a tour of nearby Tybee Island in an eye-popping Cadillac convertible. Everywhere we went, people stopped to stare. You see, this wasn't just any old car.

Geoff Albert, owner of Classic Caddy Tours, in Savannah, GA zooms clients around in his 1960 black Cadillac, bearing a striking resemblance to The Batmobile. The va-va-vroom of the 325-horsepower engine roars an all-points alert.

While a magnificently maintained (antique?) automobile, this Caddy lives as a party animal. Imagine arriving on Halloween costumed as Robin, the Green Hornet, the Riddler or perhaps Catwoman. ZOWIE. You'd make a POWerful entrance no one would ever forget.

Pointy rear fins are long enough to hold jet thrusters. Geoff, aka Bruce Wayne, keeps the body so shiny, the sun's reflection could blind any rival; and the lipstick-red leather interior is spotless enough for the bride of Frankenstein.

If you're not in the Savannah area, OUCH, you can still drive the car online: put the keys in the ignition, honk the horn, steer the wheel and have some first-class fun.
