Wonder woman doesn't need help changing tires

Do you instantly recognize this image?

To me it brings back memories

Bry nailed it really fast, it's the opening credit sequence to Taxi, the Danny DeVito, Judd Hirsch, Andy Kaufman, Tony Danza, and Marilu Henner sitcom. Great show. I watched this as a 7 year old, and it still entertains me, but now I can appreciate the writing, the acting, and the funny characters much more. Reverend Jim and Latka are two really well performed characters.

I don't recognize it, and don't have any guess...

Dave commented, "Looks to me like and English Thames pronounced "Tems". What do you think?"

You might be spot on Dave, I think you have it... but Chris looked it up on IMCDB.org and nailed it!
Chris commented;
1955-56 Dodge US. Mail truck, rare today, Body was by Fageol
This Dodge postal vehicle built with right hand drive and a flat-head six cylinder engine with a push-button automatic transmission. A decal inside, above the windshield, says: FAGEOL - Pony Express Twin Coach - Kent, Ohio, while a tag proclaims “Post Office #6-A-1101 - Model #C3 - C6 - 95.” A Dodge tag notes - 105 net Hp @ 3600rpm.” The wheelbase of the truck is 95 inches, and the rear door opens like a minivan hatch.
The Twin Coach Company utilized their body manufacturing facilities to produce these "Pony Express" vehicles.

Why hasn't anyone done this with their Tbird? From the movie "Murderers Row" a Matt Helm movie with Dean Martin (sort of a Bond similar role)

Just putting an LED message board in the place of the tail lights, clever!

The Munster's Coach was a birthday present for Herman from Lilly, according to episode 4 of season 1, custom built from a hearse and a hot rod

Here's the place Lilly stopped to look for a car for Herman

The Fleetwood Cadillac Lilly's invisible chauffer drove her in

I'd love to know if this T Bucket is known becaue of who built it, or just happened to be available for this scene

Some one else wondered about this too! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=298015&page=3

From page 70 and 71 of the March 1965 issue of Hot Rod, a bit of information:

Built by Erv Campbell of Santa Ana, CA from a cut down 1922 Ford touring body and a shortened Model A pickup bed on a 1930 Model A frame. At that time it was Erv's sixth rod and reportedly took over 5,000 hours to complete -- the hardest part, according to the owner, was fabricating the headers for the 1957 347 cu. in. Pontiac motor.

Thanks to Cord for emailing me, and Jimmy for putting the info on the HAMB

Very unusual hearse, Lilly liked both the hot rod and the hearse and decided to have a customizer make them into one car for Herman, taking the best features of each
