Celebrity vehicles will be just one of the attractions at this Saturday's 20th annual Wings and Wheels car, truck and motorcycle show at the Museum of Aviation.

One celebrity will be a "Bat Mobile" replica belonging to Jack Orrell, an active duty enlisted member of the Joint STARS unit at Robins Air Force Base.

The replica features a 1975 Chevrolet Impala chassis along with a self-built, custom fiberglass body. Orrell's version has air bag suspension, an electrically actuated canopy and a replica machine gun.

A second celebrity is the taxi cab featured in the first "Avengers" movie. According to a museum press release, the 1937 Chevy Master Sedan "is featured during the Heinz Kruger chase scene following Steve Roger's transformation into the 'Super Soldier.'"

Wings and Wheels attacts 275 to 300 vehicles each year competing for more than 100 trophies in 50 year-group and type-vehicle classes.

The family-friendly event begins with registration from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The awards are presented beginning at 4:45 p.m.

Entertainment options for the family include David Ragan's #34 race car, monster truck rides, a trackless train ride around the museum grounds and kiddie car races. Other vents include a silent auction, food and car-related vendors and a cars-for-sale corral.

Admission is free.
