Barris Pins and Buttons
Description: DRAG-U-LA, along with the Munster Koach, was one of two cars designed by Tom Daniel while working for George Barris and Barris Kustom Industries for the television show The Munsters. It was only seen in one episode, despite being shown in the intro throughout season 2. This version of the Dragula design is nicely distressed and faded to make it look like it was handed down from Grandpa Munster himself.
Description: The Gong Show was an American amateur talent contest that first aired on television in 1976. It was known for its absurd humor and style, with the actual competition secondary to the often outlandish acts presented; a small cash prize was typically awarded to each show's winner.

Description: The Gong Show was an amateur talent contest game show broadcast on daytime TV from June 14, 1976, through July 21, 1978, and in first-run syndication from 1976 to 1980 and 1988 to 1989. The show was created and originally produced by Chuck Barris, who also served as host from 1977 to 1980 in syndication. Amateurs competed in a talent contest judged by a trio of celebrities. If the act is so bad that the judges can’t bear to watch any more of it, they have the power to stop the act by pounding a large gong hanging on the wall behind them. Barris kept the acts flowing, the jokes flying and the raucous party atmosphere floating.
Description: One of the most influential customs of all times is this 1951 Mercury leadslead, named after its original owner Bob Hirohata and built by Barris Kustoms with pinstriping by Von Dutch. The car was on display in Washington on the National Mall in 2017 because of its historical significance.
