'57 Bonaguro: "Batmobile?"

Was the Batmobile inspired by this 1957 Bonaguro custom car shown at the May 2015 Rally in the [Fraser] Valley, Abbotsford, BC?

 

This incredible 50's custom is the result of years of work by John Bonaguro of Michigan. This is a completely hand-crafted automobile that was constructed over the period of 1957-1963. The suspension is 50's Studebaker; the engine is an Oldsmobile Rocket V8 from 1955 as is the transmission. The other parts identified are 1958 Chevy taillight lenses, the windshield and cowl are 1959 Dodge and the seats are 1962 T-Bird. Everything else on this incredible automobile is hand fabricated. The body on the car is fiberglass. The bumpers are polished aluminum. The interior is leather.
