    This is a very detailed replica of the Munsters Koach. There are 1 or 2 things that are not completely screen accurate but 99% of Munsters fans wouldn’t even be aware of them. Great car, great detail. One note on the actual size/scale of this vehicle. It is listed as 1:18 scale. The packaging says 1:18 scale. For perspective 1:18 scale is the scale of most 3.75” to 4” action figures (think Star Wars, GI Joe or really any action figure from the 80’s). A Luke Skywalker action figure should comfortably be able to sit in a 1:18 scale vehicle. This Munsters Koach is NOT 1:18 scale. It is smaller at about 1:21 scale. It’s not quite as small as 1:24 scale but it’s right in between 1:18 and 1:24. (As an aside the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 made by the same company is also advertised as 1:18 scale but is actually 1:21 scale). So if you were going to have your yet to be released (as of this review) Super 7 Munsters Reaction figures sit in this vehicle they will not fit. They’d probably look okay standing next to the car though.

In 1928 George Barris and his older brother Sam moved to Roseville, California and the two started creating “Barris Brothers” custom cars. Barris’ passion and business expanded over the years, garnered the attention of Hollywood, and this led to customizing cars for movies, television, and personal cars for the stars of the time, including Frank Sinatra, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Elvis Presley. The Barris Koach was built from three Model T bodies. The car was decked out with amazing details, including roll steel scrollwork, brass radiator, split radius rods and T-springs. It was an amazing undertaking, given that the scrollwork alone took 500 hours to complete. But Barris pulled it all together in just three weeks – meeting the studio’s deadline.
