 Cassandra Peterson/Elvira brings the "Macabremobile" in for repairs on the "Satanic Mechanic" episode (8-28-2012) of Counting Cars on the History Channel. She describes it as a '59 that had the metal roof cut off. The hood ornament, which does seem to appear in these photos, is an image of her. In addition to making repairs the crew has the trunk upholstered like a coffin.

 This site says:
Quote For her first film, the namesake Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, Elvira needed a spooky ride in keeping with her ominous yet alluring image. She spotted a black '58 Ford Thunderbird on Melrose Avenue. "That's it!" she cried.

But it was a hardtop, and she wanted a convertible, so Barris and his "kustomizing" crew used a chainsaw to chop off the top. (Sounds like the makings of a massacre movie!) Then they added all sorts of ghoulish embellishments: a spider web in the grille, batwing nose emblem, eyeballs on the fenders, skull-and-crossbones hubcaps, leopard-print velour upholstery, mini-caskets on the center console and trunk lid, skeleton hands, and a chain-link steering wheel with a skull in the center. The one item that Cassandra supplied was a metal hood ornament, a crouching, winged banshee sculpted with her profile.


So is it really a '59 or a '58?

 Unaltered trim matches with 1959.

 Should we add Customised by Barris Kustoms?

 Since it wasn't a convertible, should we add a note that it was a hardtop with roof removed?
