Anyone know what the story is about this roadster?

Anyone know what the story is about this roadster?A couple of brass era vehicles from the movie "The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday" a Lee Marvin movie
Don't know what they are specifically, but the movie was fun to watch, and the antique cars were frequently on screen.A couple of brass era vehicles from the movie "The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday" a James Coburn movie
Don't know what they are specifically, but the movie was fun to watch, and the antique cars were frequently on screen.The biggest wagon I've ever seen! Might only have been a movie prop, because they blew it to smithereens
Three axles... I've never seen one with 3 axles. This was in the movie "Duck You Sucker" with James Coburn

Hudsons, quite the difference between stylish cars, and odd looking trucks
The owner told me a bit of Hudson Hollywood information I've never learned before, the Hollywood was fundamentally a convertible chassis with a coupe top. They had to switch them between assembly lines from the convertible line to the hardtop line after getting all the undercarriage and chassis done. This is why it has such a roomy interior
This one is new to San Diego... it was just purchased from Florida. What does that matter? Well, I like the Hudson Hollywood look a lot, and realised I hadn't seen this one before, so I asked if it had been here long or if it was recently brought to San Diego.

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
