Tomorrow the Petersen Auto museum will be auctioning off the George Barris Custom Auto collection to the highest bidders. You can find the DeLorean from Back to the Future, The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazard, and the original Batmobile from the Batman TV show starring Adam West. Don't know who George Barris is?

Among custom car builders George Barris is an icon. More famous than his name alone is his work that is immediately recognized by generations of Americans and by movie and television fans worldwide. Perhaps best known for the "Batmobile" he created in 1966 for the television program Batman, Barris has played a seminal role in American pop-culture through his automotive creations made for the entertainment industry.

Why would a museum let go of millions of dollars worth of a world class collection of cars? The need to constantly update it's collection, of course! As business owners we must constantly reinvent ourselves to continue to present the best value to our customers. Musicians David Bowie and Madonna have adopted this philosophy throughout their careers, changing to stay ahead of fads and capture a long term fan base. In the business world, Microsoft has changed course numerous times, with the biggest shift occuring when Bill Gates decided to focus on the Internet in the early 90s.
