What Was The Munsters Car?
While the Addams’ 1930 Packard touring car was rarely seen, the Munster Koach was a regular costar. The wild stretched-wheelbase, Model-T hot rod/hearse hybrid made its debut in episode four (Rock-A-Bye Munster), when Lily goes to a used-car lot to buy a car for husband Herman’s birthday (she arrives in a 1937 Cadillac limo, by the way). She likes both a T-bucket hot rod and a 1920s hearse (a rare and expensive Cunningham V8), and asks to have a customizer combine the two.
In real life, famed customizer George Barris was given 21 days to build a vehicle for the series. He paid artist/designer Tom Daniel $200 to whip up a wild ride for a spooky sitcom family. (Daniel later designed the Red Baron model kit for Monogram, which was one of the best selling model car kits of all time.) Barris then had Dick Dean and employees of the Barris shop turn Daniel’s drawing into reality.
Herman Munster worked in a funeral home, and there were funeral-themed details on the Koach, such as casket handles on the hood, “cobwebbed” lantern headlights, and lots of rolled-steel scrollwork. Three fiberglass Ford Model T bodies were used to form the bodywork, which stretched over a 133-inch-wheelbase chassis. The 18-foot long Koach had four rows of seats—including a bench seat hanging precariously off the back. All were upholstered in blood-red velvet, which was lost on viewers of the black and white TV show. The engine was Ford 289-cid V8 that was hopped up with Jahns high-compression pistons, Isky cam, Bobby Barr exhaust headers, and a wild (but fake) 10-carburetor setup that concealed a single four-barrel carb. Barris was paid $18,000 to create the Munster Koach.
The Koach was fully drivable, though it was a bit of a squeeze for its TV pilot. Since actor Fred Gwynne was six foot five in real life and seven feet tall in his Herman Munster costume, the seat cushion had to be removed for Gwynne to fit behind the wheel. One day during filming, Gwynne piled the cast into the Koach and drove off the Universal Studios lot—much to the delight of people on the streets of Universal City.
one episode (Hot Rod Herman), Herman loses the Koach in a drag-race bet. Grandpa Munster, who was both a vampire and an inventor, tells Herman to “bring home a box from work.” Herman brings home a casket that Grandpa turns into a dragster dubbed Drag-u-la. Grandpa and Herman win back the Koach, of course, and the Munsters became a two-hot-rod family. The Barris shop built the Drag-u-la as well, working off another Tom Daniel concept sketch (Daniel also came up with the Drag-u-la name). Drag-u-la rode on a Dragmaster chassis and had a 289-cid Ford V8 fitted with exhaust headers shaped like organ pipes.
Munster Koach and Drag-u-la model kits were released by AMT in the Sixties, and both have been reissued recently. The real Munster Koach was formerly on display at Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in Keswick, England and Drag-u-la is at Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois. As with many other TV cars, several replicas are also floating around.

What aspects of a blog go into how you decide what their Munster looks like? The kinds of posts they make/reblog? Their color scheme? There icon? What is your muse?
A lot of effort goes into each munster!
For color scheme I usually mainly rely on the blog background, header, and icon. I also make sure to check both mobile and desktop versions.
Usually if the header is a picture I take the general color scheme, or incorporate the item/animal/person pictured into the Munster somehow.
Let's say that the header is a picture of a pigeon, with some soft pastel colors making up most of the colors. I'd try to take some part of the pigeon, say the feathers, the wings, the beak etc, and add it to the design of the munster, or at least put it on the initial sketches. After that I try to add in some of the pastels for later, like maybe the eyes would be pastel, or it's wearing a light colored shirt. I do the same with the icon!
Beyond that there's the posts on the blog. I look for pictures mostly when designing the base. Say somebody has reblogged some pictures of some snakes and some cats, maybe even some characters from some form of cartoon. These would influence the body of the creature! The more of an animal or character I see, the more it influences the design (same with colors)
Finally I look at the text posts for the personality! If you have a lot of posts showing general tomfoolery or pranks, the character would be a trickster, maybe they'd have a clown or jester outfit, maybe they'd be smirking like as if they were plotting a new prank, etc.
I spend a lot of time on each and every munster and I love when I see the people they were meant for enjoying the outcome :>

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

<p>St Pat's 4 Cork City 2: Pat's come back from two down against champions to give survival hopes a massive boost</p>
Tumblr media
ST PAT'S came from 2-0 down to defeat champions Cork City at Richmond Park and provide their survival hopes a massive boost.
The postponed kick-off between Galway and Limerick United at Markets Field supposed that Pat's had to wait to discover just how this result was.
An ecstatic Kurtis Byrne celebrates his after scoring his side's fourth goal
As it turned out, Eoin McCormack equaliser for Galway supposed Liam Buckley's guys weren't quiet safe with this outcome.
But the way of the fightback prompted a pitch invasion and will provide everyone involved that they can finish off the job next week when they finish their season away to Derry City.
City boss John Caulfield had promised he would field the side that was strongest possible despite his side wrapping up the name with Tuesday night's draw.
He cited a grievance about Derry had fielded a weakened team against rivals Dundalk as soon as the title race entered its final straight in 2014.
Cork boss Caulfield pictured ahead of the match
But there were eight changes to his starting line-up that -- unless themselves had been hurt by some players in the parties -- was not his strongest team.
The impressive club record of 147 consecutive league appearances of Keeper Mark McNulty came to an end, with Alan Smith coming into mind the nets for the visitors.
He, together with Seán McLoughlin, made his first league start of the season, with Achille Campion and Connor Ellis both making their second and summer recruit Robbie Williams his third.
Nonetheless, if the Saints' relegation rivals may not have been too impressed with the employees they might have small quibble with the approach, or the scoreline after 20 minutes.
Kieran Sadlier had signalled his intent for the champions from distance, which went narrowly wide after he turned and twisted from the right with an early shot.
The people got a corner when Lukasz Skowron failed to deal with another Sadlier ball into the box and it resulted in the opening goal in the 12th minute.
Killian Brennan got his head but St Pat's failed to win the ball.
Ryan Delaney was nodded down to by Campion and he had time to turn before firing.
The home side continued to struggle to deal with Sadlier, who doubled Cork's lead in the 19th minute when he twisted inside and then out Ian Bermingham before firing in off the far post from 25 yards out.
Ian Bermingham of St Pat's shoots to score his side's third goal
St Pat's was creating chances but yet found in trouble due to their sloppiness at the back and themselves 2-0 down.
Kurtis Byrne was sent on in place of Paul O’Conor and they were soon able to exploit the lack of cohesion in City's unknown line-up.
They pulled one back in the 25th minute when Dutch defender Jordi Balk scored from the cross of Conan Byrne with a bullet header.
When Billy Dennehy bagged his second and three minutes levelled before the break.
Bermingham picked out Christy Fagan and he played at the winger, who skipped Delaney before rifling past Smith.
Caulfield would not have wanted to drop points on the first night out after his side had finally sealed the name they'd waited for.
He responded by things for the next half with Williams hauled off and Griffin taking his place. Karl Sheppard came on up front with Ellis moving out left.
And left-footer Griffin was exposed in the 64th minute, which followed a passing move from the trunk.
Fagan and Kurtis Byrne played a one-two and Griffin attempted but failed to cut Fagan's pass out into the box, which Bermingham latched on to before drilling Smith.
City fought with regulars Stephen Dooley and Gearóid Morrissey introduced however, with 12 minutes to go, St Pat's wrapped up the three points.
Dennehy whipped in a cross from the left and Kurtis Byrne steered a header for his 12th league goal of the campaign. Job done at the night -- and nearly for the season.

Tesla Pulls Ahead in the Coronavirus Age After Elon Musk’s Years of Struggle
For all of Elon Musk’s public grumbling about the handling of the pandemic,
Tesla Inc.
TSLA -3.81%
After years of losses that made many investors wonder if the Silicon Valley car maker might ever run in the black, Tesla has actually sustained a profit through one of the worst financial shocks in history, assisted in part by the sale of regulative credits.
Tesla’s share cost has actually skyrocketed fourfold this year, to a level even Mr. Musk has actually suggested is excessive.
Behind that string of successes is a series of moves Mr. Musk made over the past year that positioned the company well when the coronavirus struck– coupled with his determination to keep Tesla running as much as possible during the pandemic, even in defiance of health authorities.
Extending Tesla’s hot streak– and justifying a market evaluation that presently surpasses that of.
Volkswagen AG
and.
Toyota Motor Corp.
combined– faces terrific odds, specifically given the danger of an extended slump. And Mr. Musk is aiming to quickly include production capability and plans brand-new vehicle models, activities that have actually strained Tesla before.
If he pulls it off, Mr. Musk might achieve his long-held goal of changing Tesla from a specific niche into a mainstream lorry maker. And he might bring Tesla out of the pandemic located much the method.
Ford Motor Co.
emerged from the 2007-2009 economic downturn in much healthier type than its rivals.
” There is a main resemblance in between how Ford became the leader after the Great Recession and why Tesla is well-positioned to emerge as the leader following the pandemic,” said Gene Munster, managing partner at financial investment and research firm Loup Ventures. Both made strategic bets ahead of a downturn, he said, that then allowed them to win market share and generate money.
Tesla’s rosy future is no certainty. Mr. Musk nearly lost Tesla and his personal fortune throughout the last economic crisis, betting whatever that his vision for electric vehicles might catch on if he might simply purchase time, raise funds and establish the best vehicle possible.
Last year, Tesla once again was on the ropes after years of heavy investing into the Model 3 compact cars and truck and then-coming Design Y compact sport-utility automobile. Longtime Tesla supporters, such as Adam Jonas, a veteran industry expert for Morgan Stanley, were cautious after the company saw sales slow and losses mount. Mr. Musk’s strategy to open a China factory in a year’s time appeared unrealistic.
Mr. Musk righted things just in time. He concentrated on producing a revenue and commemorated the start of production in the China factory in December. The Shanghai plant helped drive Tesla sales in current months and partially balance out the temporary closure of the business’s lone U.S. plant as local authorities fought the virus. Second-quarter earnings in the U.S. fell 11%year-over-year, but those in China more than doubled, according to the company.
Tesla likewise took advantage of the Model Y starting to roll off the line in March. The SUV’s order backlog protected prior to the pandemic assisted sustain deliveries when numerous potential brand-new car buyers were stuck at house.
To create a second-quarter revenue, Mr. Musk pulled out all of the stops. As the U.S. economy ground to a stop, Tesla reduced wages, furloughed employees and looked for rent breaks
Mr. Musk also strengthened Tesla’s sale of regulatory credits in 2015 in a move that helped him eke out earnings in the first half. He has actually now provided four successive quarters of revenue for the very first time in Tesla’s history, positioning the business for possible inclusion in the S&P 500 index
Tesla reported a fourth-consecutive rewarding quarter, making it qualified for addition in the S&P500 WSJ’s Gunjan Banerji explains. Image: Storyblocks.
” We had a narrative change from: ‘Tesla is excellent when the marketplaces are terrific, but beware when things get rocky,'” Mr. Jonas said. “Well, things got rocky and the traditional car makers need the luck.”
Simply just how much an economic crisis can shock the automobile industry was highlighted in2009 Tesla was hardly a player then, making just a couple of automobiles a month.
However Ford, having actually raised billions of dollars to fund a turnaround plan ahead of the economic downturn, profited from the minute. It slashed expenses, closed dealerships, jettisoned brand names and refocused on core products. Its shares skyrocketed from a low of $1.01 in November 2008 to a high of $1881 in early 2011, when it published its greatest revenue since 1998.
This time, Tesla is positioned to emerge more powerful. It is dealing with a new cars and truck plant outside Berlin and has revealed plans to put its fourth assembly facility in Austin, Texas.
Tesla’s annual profits, Mr. Jonas projections, will rise from $246 billion last year to top $170 billion in 10 years. That would surpass Ford’s $156 billion in sales in 2015, even though Tesla’s total lorry shipments would still be much smaller.
Ford likewise serves as a warning that fortunes can quickly change. Financiers lately have questioned its technique, while the business suspended its dividend and has actually raised more than $20 billion in cash to weather the present economic storm. On Thursday, Ford reported a second-quarter operating loss of $2.76 billion.
Critics of Tesla note that earnings has fallen in several current quarters and question the sustainability of the revenues. And many of the financial rewards a number of federal governments have actually provided to push chauffeurs to electrical vehicles– especially in the U.S.– are fading.

Tesla has actually lobbied Washington to keep tax breaks in place domestically, though their future may rest more on the result of the election in November than Mr. Musk’s lobbying prowess.
Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. expert Toni Sacconaghi downgraded the cars and truck maker last month, even with his bullish belief in the future for electrical lorries and benefits Tesla holds. “Tesla’s current appraisal is overwhelming,” he said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Musk guarantees more action to drive development, including development of a subcompact car aimed at the European and China markets. And he has signaled a focus on sustaining the current profits momentum.
” We want to resemble a little lucrative and make the most of development and make the vehicles as budget friendly as possible, and that’s what we’re trying to achieve,” he told investors last month.
