More importantly, the photos of the original show that it had a squeeze horn on the drivers side a piullar, and no side mirrors. Also, the head lights had more decorative ornamentation on the tops ... see for yourself: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/03/munsters-dragula-car.html plus the spiders in the window corners are missing. So what is original about this recreation ?

A recreation of the Munster's coach was brought to the LA Roadster show by George Barris (they say it is original.. it isn't)
I'm going on record as saying it's not the original Munster's Coach, why? Well Jack Roush wasn't making intakes and air filter tops in the 1960's, and this recreation has one.

1966 kustom built by Barris, the Tastee Big "T" found in the parking lot at the LA Roadster show!
Above: Bubble gum card showing the original, and it was brought back to the Barris shop in the early 70's and they made a few changes. They built a new body, dropped the front end, took off 2 of the fake blowers and put on a windshield http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4460174

"My Mother the Car" the car was made by Norm Grabowski or Barris?
Premiering in 1965, what may be the strangest sitcom of all time is a reminder that borderline brain-dead TV executives have been with us for decades � and deserve no say in the big-budget boardroom. Jerry Van Dyke played a man who discovers that his mother's soul has been reincarnated in his automobile, enabling him to hear her voice through the radio http://www.esquire.com/the-side/feature/worst-tv-shows-100109
Hot Rod Deluxe, May 2010 issue page 69 says Norm made it, and it was owned by Kaye Trapp, Hollywood studio photographer who used it as a push car for the Zueschel, Fuller, and Moody dragster
But according to http://local.aaca.org/junior/starcars/mother.htm Barris built the car; The car's body (finished in Metalflake carnation red with a white top) was made up from various vehicles including a Model T Ford, a Maxwell (precursor to the Chrysler), a Hudson, and pieces of a Chevrolet, including drive train. The car had a custom-made hood and radiator shell.
2 were made, one is at http://starcarstn.com/index.html in Tennessee along with a lot of other cool cars like the Munsters Dragula, and a collection of Barris customs
The video is badly editted news shorts from a local tv station perhaps... it seems like it once had commercials, only the first half is really worth watching
