Two great cars by George Barris that fit the Halloween season-The Munster Koach and Drag-U-LA. The Munster Koach is the family car that was used in the television series, The Munsters. The show's producers contracted George Barris to provide the Koach. Barris paid prolific show car designer Tom Daniel $200 to design the car, and had it built at Barris Kustoms, first by Tex Smith, but finished by Dick Dean, his shop foreman at the time. The Munster Koach appeared in over twenty episodes throughout the series' two-year run. Tom Daniel's original drawing of the Munster Koach had it supercharged with a hood scoop and thin, round disc lights. Barris chose the ten-carburetor setup with the ten air horns and lantern lights. The engine was a 289 cubic-inch Ford V8 originally configured for installation in an AC Cobra, it was built with Jahns high compression pistons, 10 chrome plated Stromberg carburetors, an Isky cam, and had a set of Bobby Barr racing headers. It had a four-speed toploader manual transmission.#munsterkoach #drag-u-la #cardesign #georgebarris #tvcars #1960s #coffincar #design #iskycam #accobra #ford #fordv8 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpj6CumgsBu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ucmjgbkeha3e
