Motion Pictures "1965 Hot Rod Herman"

Great old video filmed at L.A. County Raceway and Pomona Home of the Winter Nationals. One of my favorite Munster's episodes featuring "The "Munster Mobile" and Dragula"............ ENJOY

That's some funny stuff!!!

 

Note:
1) "L.A. County Raceway" was located in Palmdale, Ca.
2) "Pomona Raceway" is located at Los Angeles County Fairgrounds (aka: Fairplex), in Pomona.
3) I believe the episode was filmed at Lions Drag Strip in Long Beach, CA. However, there was some actual drag race footage from Pomona Raceway.

 

Yeah looked like they used a couple different locations. Still great footage regardless.

 

Sorry, I didn't want to sound like I was correcting you. The Munsters is a great TV show. It is my favorite episode. Check out the other cars--> race cars and cars in the background.

 

Not a prob I didn't move there untill mid 70's. Thanx for the info. I learned something. Thought it would be a cool share for all the young guys that missed out on an awsome decade.

 

Here is the full episode:

 

Favorite Munster episode love that one

 

I saw the title and thought...

 

This is awesome thanks for posting. I loved watching the Munsters as a kid and still do on YouTube. I had never seen this hot rod episode though, quite entertaining.

 

Thanks Big Dog just added it into my favorites.

 

I remember watching reruns when I was a kid. I liked the episodes with the cars the best. They also did at least 1 movie that featured the cars where Herman was in a road race in the Dragula. I also built the model kit that had both cars in it. Thanks for sharing fastrnu. Jim Ford

Coolest bubble-top ever!
Thanks for sharing the clip.

 

I remember when that episode first aired. Dragula was all the talk of the cool kids in the fifth grade.

 

yessir! One my favorite models I built back then along with the Uncertain T. Gee and people wonder why I build what I build.

 

I have a copy of "Munster go home". I think Fred Gwynn must have taken quite a beating doing all those driving scenes; Dragula was a "hard tail".

 

There is a clip of Al Lewis doing wheel stands with the Drag U La on the net that I have seen, but can't find it anywhere now. Looked like someone's home movie camara. Would be cool to see it again.
