The Real Show Car

• The Li'l Coffin, also known to Hot Wheels Collectors as The Demon or Prowler. Was custom built by Darryl Starbird for Monogram models and went on tour with the ICAS in 1963-64. This chopped and channeled '32 Ford sedan features a cantilevered roof and a "floating" windshield. It's powered by a 426 Hemi, "6-Pack" (six single barrel carburetors), and has a fully pleated white leather interior.

• The Photo and information for the full scale Li'l Coffin is sourced from the book "Showtime" by Michael Sheridan and Sam Bushala
