    George Barris also did a car for John Wayne too, but I have never seen it at all. If you ever saw “American Pickers”, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz were able to buy the Dragula Car from him and they have it back at there place in Iowa. George Barris’ kids are trying to put a museum to their father but have been running into a lot of Difficulties in doing that. The location of his shop in Studio City had to be closed as could not afford to keep that place at all.
    At Forest Lawn Glendale there are a lot of those artistic nude statues there, as are supposed to symbolic of life, even they are at a cemetery that represents death, so it’s to show life amongst the dead there. I learned it from Arthur Dark on RUclips from his series.

    Those numerals embossed on the diminutive metal tags which are in turn affixed to the base of the depicted statuary is in reference to their identification numbers as found in the now long out-of-print "Forest Lawn Art Guide". This catalogue offers the same numbers to make the connection to the particular item along w/ the given title of the artwork, its creator, a brief description of the work and any purpose or meaning in regards to it.

      It's fantastic how the thinking that went into the cemetery construction is multi functional, dispels the notion the it's for morbid and sorrow. It's an art gallery, a park with picnic area , and movies I believe.
