Batman first appeared on screen in 1943. The car driven by Batman in that serial wasn't a hi-tech, specially customised batmobile as we understand them now, but a black 1939 Cadillac convertible.
The next live-action instalment is from 1949, and, in this, Batman drives a maroon 1949 Mercury convertible. Again, a factory-stock car and not a custom batmobile as in later movies.
Yes, I am aware that model is a coupe and not a convertible, but it's close enough for me to add to the collection as a pre-batmobile batmobile.
And as to a 1:24 model of a black 1939 Cadillac, I'll keep looking!
