The Munsters live at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in an impressive cobweb covered Gothic mansion. Father Herman is the head of the household. He is 7ft tall and bears a very close resemblance to Frankenstein's Monster. Lily his wife displays a touch of vampire about her, while their son Eddie has a great affinity towards werewolves. Other members of the family are Grandpa, who obviously a descendant of Count Dracula of Transylvannia and Marilyn who, is remarkably normal. Herman drives a rather special car "The Koach". This is a hot rod based on a lengthened 1923 Model T chassis with custom body and a massive Ford Cobra engine. It has Jahns high dome pistons and an Isky Cam and is fuelled through ten carburettors with huge gold plated intake pipes. The car on display is the actual original Munster Koach used in the world famous 60's TV series based around the Munster family. In the 70's the car toured the USA extensively and George Barris, its creator, gave the car a new paint scheme which it still displayed today.
