The Munster Koach was introduced in episode 4 on October 15, 1964 as a birthday present for Herman (Fred Gwynne) from Lily (Yvonne De Carlo); in the script she actually picks out two cars from a used car dealer (Diamond Jim), a T-Bucket built by Erv Campbell of Santa Ana, CA. and what appears to be a 1920 Cunningham Funeral Coach and tells him to “take them to a custom builder”. In reality that custom builder was George Barris who provided the Koach in a 21 day deadline. Tom Daniel did the original designs; Tex Smith and Dick Dean reportedly handled the build working from 3 Model T bodies assembled on a hand-made 133″ frame. The final machine is 18 feet long.
