Everyone who has seen "The Munsters" remembers their unique family car, The Munster Koach. During the May 27, 1965 episode, Grandpa's new car, Drag-U-La was introduced. Vampires need a coffin, so the car was designed with a gothic theme including a grille that resembles a tombstone and exhaust pipes that look like organ pipes. The car appeared in one episode, "Hot Rod Herman", where Grandpa and Herman drag race. The fan reaction was so great that Drag-U-La was added to the end credits.
George Barris designed and created both of the cars used in The Munsters. The cars appeared in all of their movies including "Munster: Go Home", "The Munsters Revenge", and the new Fox production "Here Come The Munsters."
