Storv and Photos &v CmarlottlPlrkins By CHARLOTTE PERKINS Home Journal Btatf . Terry “Tee" Williams loves kids and cars, and there’s not likely to be a kid who won’t love Williams' newest car. Inspired by the 60’s comedy, The Munsters", Williams has cre ated the “Munster Koach II” from a 1933 Plymouth, a collection of spare parts, household items, a lit tle cash and plenty of imagination. Shiny black with quilted red vel vet upholstery and plenty of gleaming chrome, the comical open-top car (which really runs) sports a shifter with a skull for a hand-grip and its own television set. It has already been shown at the “Heart of Georgia Charity Run" to benefit Georgia Children’s Home, and placed in the top 20 out of 300 cars, while delighting the children in attendance.
