You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((refimprove|date=January 2018))
'''DRAG-U-LA''', along with the [[Munster Koach]], was one of two cars on the television show ''[[The Munsters]]'' designed by prolific show car designer [[Tom Daniel (designer)|Tom Daniel]] while working for [[George Barris (auto customizer)|George Barris]] and Barris Kustom Industries.

==The car==
The [[fiberglass]] body of DRAG-U-LA was built from a coffin that Richard "Korky" Korkes, Barris's project engineer, was able to purchase from a funeral home in [[North Hollywood]]. Korkes said in 2013 that it was illegal to sell a coffin without a death certificate, so he made a deal with the funeral director to pay in cash and have the coffin left outside the rear door to be collected after dark.<ref name=Wapling>((cite web |author=Greg Wapling |url=https://hotrod.gregwapling.com/show-cars/drag-ula.htm |title=Drag Ula |website=Show Rods |accessdate=December 3, 2020 ))</ref>

The car had a 350[[horsepower|HP]], 289ci [[Ford Mustang]] V-8 engine with a four-speed stick shift.<ref name=Wapling/> It had two four-barrel [[carburetor]]s((citation needed|date=January 2011)) mounted on a Mickey Thompson Ram-Thrust manifold. The carburetors were mounted backwards in an effort to save space and the pull type throttle actuation modified into a pusher type.((citation needed|date=December 2020))

The rear tires were 10.00-15 [[Firestone Tire and Rubber Company|Firestone]] racing slicks, mounted on custom 10-inch Radir<ref name=Dragula>((cite web |author=Munsters Dragula |url=https://munsters.com/munsters-dragula/ |title=Butch Patrick presents |website=The Munsters |accessdate=May 28, 2023 ))</ref> aluminum and steel wheels. Each hubcap was decorated with a large silver spider. The front tires were 4-inch Italian tires on Speedsport English buggy wire wheels.<ref name=Wapling/> To extend the Gothic motif further, Barris installed four Zoomie style [[Organ (music)|organ pipes]] on each side of the car in lieu of a standard [[exhaust pipe]], and mounted antique lamps on the front and rear.

The front of the vehicle sported a marble gravestone—supposedly Grandpa Munster's [[license plate]] "from the Old Country"—with the inscription: "Born 1367, Died ?". A "hidden" radiator was topped with a small golden casket. The driver sat in [[Front engine dragster|the rear of the vehicle behind the engine]], under a plastic bubble.<ref name=superradnow>((cite web|url=http://superradnow.wordpress.com/2011/10/28/hot-rod-herman/|title=SuperRadNow|accessdate=December 17, 2012))</ref>((better source needed|date=January 2018))

Subtle changes were made to the automobile, such as the tires, for different aspects of filming for the television series and for the movie ''[[Munster, Go Home!]]''.

This car was sold at the closeout auction of the Chicago Historical Antique Automobile Museum in [[Highland Park, Illinois]], in 1985.((clarify|date=December 2020))

The original 1966 car was housed in [[Planet Hollywood]] in [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]], where it hung from the ceiling.((Citation needed|date=January 2011)) Upon the closing of the Atlantic City location, the car was auctioned off to John Sbrigato, who also owns a Munster Koach.<ref>((cite magazine |author=John McCartney |title=Halloween Hootenanny Spooks Out RaceWay Park |magazine=Cruisin Times Magazine |date=January 2019 |page=18 ))</ref>

==In ''The Munsters''==
On ''The Munsters'' television series the car was created by [[Grandpa Munster]] so he could win back the Munster Koach, which [[Herman Munster|Herman]] had lost in a [[drag racing|drag race]] in the episode "[[List of The Munsters episodes|Hot Rod Herman]]".

The 1966 movie ''Munster, Go Home!'' features an alternate origin.  After Herman crashes a Jaguar limousine owned (and raced) by the Munster family of England, Grandpa builds the DRAG-U-LA, using the motor from the Munster Koach, so Herman can drive it in a cross-country automobile race.
