If you grew up watching The Munsters then you would be familiar with the unusual family sedan driven by Herman Munster. Joyride Studios with it's1:18 (2204) scale die-cast version brings the spooky-cool custom hot rod from the classic 1960s sitcom to life on your shelf.

Originally built for the TV series by legendary custom car builder George Barris, the Munster Koach became one of the most recognisable TV cars of all time — and this meticulously crafted collectible captures that spirit perfectly.
