The Most Iconic Custom Cars

Batmobile (1966)

The Batmobile of 1966, crafted by George Barris, used to be a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car. It's famed for its red accents and bat-like wing tips. Its cool features raised the standards for all superhero cars to come.

Munster Koach (1964)

The Munster Koach, created by George Barris, merged three Ford Model T bodies into one creepy vehicle. Showcased on "The Munsters" TV series, it proudly displayed a 289 Ford Cobra engine and detailed gothic touches.

Ecto-1 (1984)

The famous Ecto-1 from "Ghostbusters" was initially a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance. The movie's production crew transformed it into the iconic vehicle we know, with its white and red paint job and ghost-busting gear on the roof.

Its signature siren and unique look have since become associated with ghost hunting.

KITT (1982)

KITT, the car from "Knight Rider," was an incredibly sophisticated Pontiac Trans Am with built-in artificial intelligence.

Recognizable by its cool black color and flashing red scanner bar, KITT could go for a cruise all on its own and carry out all sorts of cutting-edge activities.

1948 Tucker Torpedo

Renowned for its ahead-of-the-time features such as an engine at the back and independent suspension, the Tucker Torpedo was truly something special. Unfortunately, the company only made 51 of these before they had to shut down.

Its fascinating story was famously portrayed in the 1988 movie, "Tucker: The Man and His Dream."
