The Munsters and The Addams Family are two classic television shows that, aside from being destined to air back-to-back in syndicated reruns until the end of time, instantly call Halloween to mind. I personally prefer the Addams Family, but there's one thing that the Munsters had over them in spades: really cool cars.
The Munster Koach, created by the studio of legendary auto customizer George Barris, is an 18-foot-long, hearse-like hot rod made from parts from three Ford Model Ts on a handmade frame. It had a gloss pearl black exterior and a red velvet interior, and cost $18,000 to build in 1964. It served as the family car in the series. Two Koaches were eventually created, along with Grandpa's iconic coffin-based car, the Drag-U-La.
Now you can create a third, when you check out Cláudio Dias's excellent paper model of the Munster Koach at PaperInside. But mortal, be warned! His close attention to detail means this isn't an easy papercraft. You'll be making multiple parts in glossy golden foil, and along with some complex cutting and gluing, you'll need to have good paper-folding skills under your belt. Cláudio has some tips on building his Munster Koach; at the very least, read all his posts to the topic at the link before you start.
When you're ready to take it on, you can download the model for free. Happy haunting!
