This was built by George Barris, who created famous TV vehicles such as the Batmobile, the General Lee, and K.I.T.T. -- Last edit: 2008-07-03 21:06:29 |

vilero left us a history of the van: http://www.barris.com/gallery_cars/TV_MovieCars/gallery_supervan.html And since this van is the star, doesn't it deserve five stars? |

Not Matchbox? |

Matchbox had the "Stretcha Fetcha" ambulance, which was a little bigger than this, and had a different front end. |

Barris did NOT create general lee OR KITT. |

The latest CNBC episode of "Jay Leno's Garage" featured this at the end and they have it as a '66. That would make this based on an A-Series Sportsman. |

Based on a 1966 Tradesman A-100 according to Barrett-Jackson. |

Why is George Barris allowed to do anything with a vehicle of any kind? It looks like a butter dish on wheels. |
