George Barris (born George Salapatas; November 20, 1925 - November 5, 2015) was an American designer and builder of many famous Hollywood custom cars, most notably the Munster Koach. Barris did not style the 1966 Batmobile, although his company built it.
In 1951, Sam had customized a new Mercury coupe for himself, and a customer who saw it ordered a similar car. This vehicle, known as the Hirohata Merc for its owner, was shown at the 1952 General Motors Motorama auto show and was so popular it overshadowed the best work of Detroit's top designers. It also established the early 1950s Mercury as a popular basis for custom car design. In addition, Sam built Ala Kart, a 1929 Ford Model A roadster pickup. After taking two AMBR (America's Most Beautiful Roadster) wins in a row, the car made numerous film and television appearances, usually in the background of diner scenes.[2]
Sam decided to leave the business in the 1950s, but George had married and he credited his wife Shirley with major assistance in promoting the company, which eventually became Barris Kustom Industries. It began to license its designs to model car manufacturers such as Aurora, Revell, MPC, and AMT, which spread the Barris name into every hobby, department, and discount store in the United States and also into the minds of millions of eager model builders.
In the early 1960s, Barris, along with other well-known customizers (Gene Winfield, Dean Jeffries and the Alexander Brothers) reworked production cars for Ford's "Custom Car Caravan" and "Lincoln/Mercury's Caravan of Stars". The traveling exhibits were designed to appeal to younger car buyers, both current and future.[3]
Barris created Drag-U-La for television.[4][5][6]
Barris also used the body of Pulsator (designed by Nye Frank) on his snowmobile dragster show car Ice Kutter.[7]
Barris is the subject of the title story in writer Tom Wolfe's first collection of essays The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby.
Other television cars built by Barris Kustom Industries include the Munster Koach and casket turned dragster (the "Drag-U-La") for The Munsters, an Oldsmobile Toronado turned into a roadster used in the first season of Mannix, a 1921 Oldsmobile touring car turned into a truck for The Beverly Hillbillies, the fictional "1928 Porter" for the NBC comedy My Mother the Car, Updated KITTs for later seasons of Knight Rider[11] and replicas of 1914 Stutz Bearcats for Bearcats!.
Between 2002 and 2006, Barris also designed two custom Cadillac hearses for episodes of the cable television series Monster Garage. Barris' company often builds replicas of non-Barris designed vehicles from other TV series, including The Monkees Monkeemobile, Starsky & Hutch (Ford Torino, Power Rangers (Turbo Vehicles)[17] and Knight Rider KITT. Barris also designed and built the "Wagon Queen Family Truckster", based on a 1979 Ford Country Squire station wagon, for the 1983 film National Lampoon's Vacation.
Weird is good. Detailing weird is awesome. As a VW Bug mechanic, I survived repairing many a "Dune Buggy" in the early 70's. Sadly, while I did "fix" a few Corvair powered buggies, I never had the pleasure of working on a genuine Barris Custom. Thanks for the buggy ride down memory lane.
I love those kits, I think I built everyone of them as a kid in the 60's 😄
The fun never slows down, well said.
They best way you can tell it's a real Barris Custom...
Look for the hardware store receipts 😆😆😆
Like for those hanging windshield lights.
Barris was an amazing designer/builder...
but he was also known for grabbing parts from wherever he could get/find them 😉
(Draw pulls, metal ice cube trays...etc.) ...especially for his many TV series & film rides
Thank you for the very cool build & video ✌😎
Make it the way you want it! Looks great Chris! Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦
Even with the kits that I have no interest in, I still love watching you build em.
Those headlights look like lights used on the stage or a Hollywood set.
This isn’t really my usual style of model but this classic is so cool you gotta love it.
I'm building this now. I'm excited.
It was definitely a real 1 to 1 scale car
Barris did some kick ass customs!! Hopefully Round 1 will do the Mannix Barracuda and Olds again as well as that Beverly Hillbillies truck but the hotrodded version that was once available as recently as late 90s
Just watched the vidio Chris. What a cool buggy. You always do a great job.
Very cool video! I’m definitely going to pick this up when it’s available. As always, I love your videos! Thank you.
Nice looking build sir!
VERY COOL BUILD !!!! love it and Thank you for sharing your builds and reviews they always turn a bad day into a great day. Please keep em coming, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE it's a HOBBY and it's SUPPOSE to be FUN
A few years back I bought some models on eBay that had come from the George Barris estate sale. I guess he was a model builder like us.
Just picked up mine today. I'm doing the Luigi's Pizza logos
I just realized that I have this kit stuffed in a drawer never opened. I have about 10 models that I found that I completely forgot I had. I feel RICH !! LOL
Good looking down Chris I found if I ever have thin pinstripes decals to apply I shoot them with a coat of clear let them dry overnight and they won't break apart 👍👍
Trying to finish one for the Corvair Convention next week in Georgia. I did the same with the velocity stacks. I went with an open back build and will put in the roll bar.
Looks very back heavy. I bet this was a happy wheel stander in it's day.
This thing reminds me of an old Hot Wheel called, I believe, the Ice-T.
Very nice build. This looks like a great kit. Certainly one I would consider buying. Great work as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Really 😎, love this!! Great color choices 👌!!
Really like the decals you ended up with, and like those scrolls on the sides in the back. Neat looking little buggy.
It's such a pain when those thin stripe decals decide to fold in on themselves! I like the fact the kit has so many different decal choices that enabled you to overcome that. It's one aspect of one of the kits I currently have in my stash that I'm not looking forward to!
Another awesome hit out of the park Chris
Nice work as usual, but don’t landau irons usually lean forward toward the top?
I have no idea of the 'proper' way to add those scrolls on the side, I just liked them the way I placed them. Thanks!
Love the Chassis work - inspired paint choices really highlight the details ! As usual - your finest contribution is your infectious enthusiasm for the model building hobby - keep up the good work !!
Thank you very much!
Chri - how did you fix the “boo boo” with the black marker on the rear door? Thanks. Keep ‘em coming!
91% Alcohol will remove Sharpie ink. If you are using Tamiya Lacquers you will need to apply it deftly, because 91% will remove the Tamiya as well. Not sure how 91% behaves with the Testors Extreme Lacquers.
Question about Future Polish: Would it work on models that are molded in color but not painted?
I wish I had those exhaust parts for the Piranha Spy Car model.
That's a really awesome build great work
George Barris T Buggy, the prototype of his Corvair powered custom dune buggy from the 60s. His plan at the time was to franchise shops where you could buy a T-Buggy or parts to build your own, he thought dune buggies would be the new hot rods of the 1960's
Yes if you had a corvair you always kept an extra fan belt with you at all times.
👍👍👍
I built this model in 1968. There's a little difference in the parts but it still the same kit
A modeler could use that built chassis on other builds👍
what happened to the Revell paint products i started buying it and it has disappeared
Cool
I would of did same thing with those stacks
......I would HAVE DONE THE same thing........some people just never get the hang of the English language......
Fan belt goes around crank up to idlers and turns to go around fan
Never seen this
i bet that motor was a bear to get in. i know mine was and the nubs wouldn't stay right in the tranny. All in all love your work and videos keep it up!
👍👍
