Description:
This hot-rod was inspired by the Drag-U-La coffin car featured in a 1965 episode of the television series The Munsters. The car rides on a custom box-frame chassis and for bodywork features an 8' fiberglass casket modified to house a driver's seat behind the rear axle. Power is from a carbureted Chevy small-block V8 backed by a TH350 automatic transmission and a Ford 9"" rear end. Additional highlights of the build include bronze-finished Race Star front wheels, front disc brakes, wide rear wheels wrapped in racing slicks, organ-style vertical exhaust pipes, lantern-style lighting, and wave-pattern velvet-style upholstery.
Interior:
The driver's compartment is positioned at the rear of the casket with the axle assembly passing under-knee, and blue wave-pattern velvet-style upholstery covers the single seat and side panels. Gold-color ornamental rope accents the dash and side panels as well as the perimeter of hinged lid, the latter of which is lined in purple wave-pattern upholstery and features a low-profile tinted windscreen panel. A Momo steering yoke sits ahead of a marble-look dash panel that hosts Sunpro instrumentation including an 8k-rpm tachometer and gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level.
Exterior:
The original Drag-U-La custom was designed by George Barris of Barris Kustoms for The Munsters episode ""Hot Rod Herman,"" in which Grandpa Munster constructs the drag car in an effort to win back the family's Munster Koach that was lost by Herman Munster on a bet earlier in the episode. This creation's layout borrows the Drag-U-La's casket-bodied configuration, utilizing a modified casket mounted on the rear portion of a steel frame. Funereal design cues can be seen throughout the build. The fiberglass casket is finished in copper and is flanked by full-length gold-painted handles and escutcheons, while black-painted double-basket balusters are mounted at front and rear. The nose segment of the gold-painted frame hosts a fuel tank, a tombstone accent, and lantern-style headlights, while red lantern taillights and a black padded bumper are fitted at the rear of the casket. Ascending-height organ-style vertical exhaust pipes exit along each side of the casket, which incorporates a mesh front grille opening and three lid segments hinged at the front, side, and rear, respectively. The rear lid features the signature of Munsters actor Butch Patrick.
Drivetrain:
Small-block Chevy V8 with TH350 transmission sent to a Ford 9"" rear end.Staggered wheels and drag slicks in the rear.
