This was built by George Barris, who created famous TV vehicles such as the Batmobile, the General Lee, and K.I.T.T.

And since this van is the star, doesn't it deserve five stars?

Matchbox had the "Stretcha Fetcha" ambulance, which was a little bigger than this, and had a different front end.

Barris did NOT create general lee OR KITT.

The latest CNBC episode of "Jay Leno's Garage" featured this at the end and they have it as a '66. That would make this based on an A-Series Sportsman.

Based on a 1966 Tradesman A-100 according to Barrett-Jackson.

Why is George Barris allowed to do anything with a vehicle of any kind?
It looks like a butter dish on wheels.
