In “Hot Rod Herman” (1965) from the second season of The Munsters television show - Herman Munster gets goaded by his son Eddie into racing his family car - the Munster Koach - against Sandy “Leadfoot” Baylor at the Mockingbird Heights drag strip.  Herman loses the race and signs over the pink slip to the family car.  To win the car back, Grandpa Munster builds a custom, gothic dragster in the family garage - the Drag-U-La - featuring a real 1925 steel-reinforced burial casket for the body, organ pipes for the exhaust, and a tombstone for the grille.  Grandpa takes the Drag-U-La to the strip for a high-stakes rematch against Baylor and easily wins the race, and the Munsters recover their family car.
