In 1964, Universal Studios asked for a funky-yet-functional car for its new Munsters TV series. George Barris and Barris Kustoms delivered. Given only 21 days to priduce the vehicle from a drawing, they created a vehicle combining hot-rodding with antique stagecoach styling. The nearly 20' long vehicle featured a footman's seat, headstone-styled Ford Model T radiator, red plush velvet upholstery, gas lanterns, curtained windows, coffin door handles, and antique lights with a spiderwed-motif, befitting the ghoulish residents of 1313 Mockingbird Lane!
This “dead-on” 1:18 scale American Muscle die-cast is from their Entertainment Series, and brilliantly “reincarnates” the many unique styling elements of the full-scale creation. Enjoy the plated replica of the 289 engine, complete with replicated Bobby Barr funnel racing headers. You can open the doors on all three sections to enjoy the “blood red” flocking simulating the upholstery. Gold-tone plated adornments include the radiator, lamps, “casket handles” and horn, and “ooga” horn, and the plated spoke wheels feature replicated A/I. knock-off hubs.
