"Mark I" ?? No such vehicle. You're probably thinking of the Continental Mark II, built only 1956-1957. Also I wouldn't say that it was Lincoln's version of the '56-'57 Thunderbird because it was not a 2 seater.

The Batmobile that was used in the TV series was a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept Carl. Just an interesting piece of trivia. And I saw a replica Cord convertible kit made out of a later era Lincoln. Its hood so heavy that it had a powered hood lift. Far removed from the production ones you recognize. Kind of cool trivia though.

Actually it was a Mark II, not a Mark I. Produced only in 1956-57, it was hardly related to the much smaller two-seater Thunderbird.
