Although the sign says “Mockingbird Heights Drag Strip,” the photo was probably taken at the NHRA Drag Strip in Pomona California in the early 1960s. Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster was accompanied by Grampa Munster (Al Lewis) for a publicity stunt.

I watched the show as a kid for obvious reasons, but especially to see Marilyn Munster. All the little chicks with the crimson lips  fawned over 10 year old Eddie Munster, and one of his fans finally tracked down Butch Patrick.

In any case, it seems like a good intro for an Overnight Open Thread.

Yep, that’s Butch, aka Eddie Munster, driving at 55. Full story here.
