The engine is also different, with it being a large V8 instead of a V12. The headlights have been changed, with side mirrors replacing the spotlight lamps and two Kerosene headlights with car bulbs replacing the four Drum ones, being located further down, they leave the grille and engine exposed much more. Instead of the general aluminium doubled-up bar used for a bumper on the Roosevelt, the Fränken Stange's front bumper sticks out from the front axle much further than its unmodified counterpart, but avoids guarding the wheels. The Fränken Stange features a unique ram-bar-style front bumper. Because it shares its bodywork and chassis with the Roosevelt, it can be said that is based on the 1928 Cadillac 341A Town Sedan, where it shares the initial design shape. It shares most of its bodywork, particularly the front fascia, but the rear half has been completely replaced headlights and wheel arches with it. The Fränken Stange is a heavily modified Roosevelt, being converted into a hot rod. Additionally the 'haunted mansion' style of the original is downplayed much more.
However, unlike the Munster Koach, the Fränken Stange is much shorter in length, with the roof covering the cab, instead of just the second seating row.
The Fränken Stange seems to take a lot of influence from the Munster Koach, featured in The Munsters.
