I built several of his models as a kid. He, Von Dutch, Roth and several others helped shape an era.

Certainly the end of an era. Husseinz’s fault.

A Hollywood icon with Motown connections.

Wonderful “fantasy” designs for several V shows.

Munsters and Beverly Hillbillies come to first recollection.

The Batmobile was a really neat vehicle. I especially liked it when they did a bat curve.

The original series is still on every Saturday Evening on METV. If you are going to do camp do it totally or not at all.

* This week, Clasp Garage took a look at the zebra-styled Mustang that George Barris built for Frank Sinatra - specifically for his movie "Marriage on the Rocks."

Does anyone remember the tracked all terrain type vehicle they used on “Lost In Space”. It had a mostly plexiglass shell.

It may have been a specially made vehicle but it just looked too nice for the show’s crummy special effects.

This is apparently the same Corvette "Asteroid" with a different paint job.

Heavy duty metal flake paint job. Not sure if this is the same one as the 2-tone above.

Ten bent velocity stacks on a V-8.

Who does this?

Some of the fun I've had in my life was due to Mr. Barris. Thanks George.
