DARK SHADOWS HEARSE

 

Despite never having seen dark Shadows the old TV series I'm still fascinated by the show and merchandise. Here's a cool kit of the Collins hearse. Anyone know the maker?

  1. According to Classic Plastic by Rick Polizzi,MPC issued a very similar model kit in the 1970s.It has a few modifications to make it more like a hot-rod,but the body style is basically the same.The kit is called Barnabas Vampire Van.

    According to both the Scalemates site, and Show Rod Model Kits by Scotty Gosson, the MPC Barnabas Vampire Van in 1/25th scale was released in 1969. It was also re-issued under the shorter name Vampire Van, without the Dark Shadows tie-in.
