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 produce 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
Model-T radiator, red plush velvet upholstery, gas lanterns, curtained
windows, coffin door handles, and antique lights with a spider web-motif,
befitting the ghoulish residents of 1313 Mockingbird Lane!

DRAGULA
MUGranpa
Munster, patriarch of TV's Munster Clan , was not your ordinary grandfather,and
neither was his ride. The George Barris built "Dragula"
featured a casket "resting in peace" on a a tube chassis,
and the macabre motif was extended to the casket radiator and marble
gravestone grill. The dragster drew it's dying breaththrough bat-shaped
forced-air scoops, and wailed throughtuned metal organ tube exhausts.

could definitely say that this one-of-a-kind coffin was "to die
for"!
