Jet Powered COFFIN inspired Grandpa Munster's Dragula Car in the Children's TV

Jet Powered COFFIN inspired Grandpa Munster's Dragula Car in the Children's TV  The Maddoxjet Coffin Car, pictured, was created by pulsejet expert Robert Maddox.
Move aside Grandpa Munster, there’s a new coffin car in town – and it’s powered by a jet engine. Oregon inventor Robert Maddox gave the Dragula coffin car - made famous in the 1960s children’s TV show The Munsters - a 21st century facelift by adding two pulse jets. The engine in the Maddoxjets Coffin Car weighs 300lbs and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in nine seconds – faster than a Toyota Prius.

He continued he had been fascinated by the possibility of creating a coffin car since he was a child: 'I actually grew up on top of old graveyard hill in Phoenix, Oregon and had graves right under by bed.
'The old cemetery was supposed to have been moved to the new cemetery in 1900, but back then if there were no living kin they would just move the head stone not the coffin. When I was little my Dad dug a swimming pool and hit four graves.'
'I always loved The Munsters, Addams Family and Halloween - naturally since I was known as the kid that lived on graveyard hill - and always wanted a coffin car like Grandpa Munster built.'
Maddox's coffin car took a month to build and cost $1,300 (£814).

Its structure is subterranean inside the mountain that never melts even in summer. The large stalactites and the spikes of the ice extend from the ceiling to floor. However the floor and walls are completely covered with the thick layers of ice.
