A recreation of the Munster's coach was brought to the LA Roadster show by George Barris (they say it is original.. it isn't)

I'm going on record as saying it's not the original Munster's Coach, why? Well Jack Roush wasn't making intakes and air filter tops in the 1960's, and this recreation has one.

More importantly, the photos of the original show that it had a squeeze horn on the drivers side a piullar, and no side mirrors. Also, the head lights had more decorative ornamentation on the tops ... see for yourself: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/03/munsters-dragula-car.html plus the spiders in the window corners are missing. So what is original about this recreation ?


Most obvious is the wrong shifter handle, the original had a ball at the end of a long curved handle, it ended between the driver and passenger about chest high, looked really long and off proportion

Cuban taxi's.... aren't they awesome! Looks like a 55 Ford and a 53 Chev. I'd take a ride in these over a modern taxi, damn right I would

I'm not sure, but it looks like the trans-arctic vehicle

The Vereycken Diwheel 1947 and you can read more about it http://douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/diwheel/diwheel.htm

The Munsters coach it looks like, it is on Santa Monica Blvd, and it's 1964

What an Americana moment, the purple car is a Studebaker Commander I think
