I always liked Marilyn

I was always a fan of the cars that came out of the George Barris shop. He had some really talented designers (in addition to himself)

Do you guys know that Eddie Munster grew up to be a really excellent guitarist? Here is video of him doing his thing:



His Reverend signature guitar has bat wings on it, assuredly, a sign of the young Eddie Munster in him!
