Monkees! Monkees! Monkees! Along with the Munster Mobile, the Monkeemobile is one of the most iconic TV cars of the 60s. The vehicle is a modified Pontiac GTO and was built by designer Dean Jeffries. The car featured a tilted forward split two-piece windshield, set of four bucket seats and an extra third row bench where there was originally a trunk, and a rear-mounted parachute.
The Monkeemobile would often go on tour with the band. Ironically, on their first American tour, the opening act was Jimi Hendrix. The TV band loved the musician. But his iconic guitar-style didn't meld with the fans of The Monkees - and he left the tour after a few shows.
