2. I'm guessing

Bobby Darrin, maybe 1965. Looks like a batmobile.

3. You got the Darrin part right.

Not a bat mobile, tho.
And off just a very few years.

4. The guy looks like Bobby Darin. The car looks like a Chrysler product from the late 50's, early 60's

The year, if I had to guess, based on photo quality and such, would be about 1960 give or take. Maybe '63. Sorry... best I can do.

5. Close enough.

1961.
Here is the caption:
Singer Bobby Darin stands beside a hand-made automobile called the "Bobby Darin Dream Car," unveiled on March 31, 1961, in Hollywood, California. Owner Andrew Di Dia, who designed and built the $150,000 car, will take it on a nationwide tour.

Now, your turn to put up a trivia photo.

7. Bobby Darin leaning against Batman's car in 1956?

8. Darrin is correct. Year is 1961.

and car is a handmade one...amazing that someone went to all that trouble to hand make a car that looks like a mating of a Cadillac and an Edsel.

"Singer Bobby Darin stands beside a hand-made automobile called the "Bobby Darin Dream Car," unveiled on March 31, 1961, in Hollywood, California. Owner Andrew Di Dia, who designed and built the $150,000 car, will take it on a nationwide tour. "

10. Interesting. I've never seen that photo before.

Bobby was way cool.

11. According to DollarTimes.com, $150,000 in 1961 is over $1.1 million today

I actually think it's a cool-looking car, but my price point would be a bit lower...
