George Barris, the man who designed some of TV's coolest cars — starting with the Holy Grail, Batmobile No. 1, the primo prop used in the 1960s TV series Batman — has died, age 89.

As a custom car designer, Barris was among the best, designing scores of iconic cars for scores of movies and TV shows, such as K.I.T.T deom Knight Rider, the jalopy from The Beverly Hillbillies, the coach from The Munsters, the transformed DeLorean from Back to the Future, the stretch dune buggy in The Monkees, and even the General Lee on The Dukes of Hazzard.

RIP George Barris.
