The only time I have ever seen this show was when I was on vacation in Cape Hatteras. It came on late at night.
A monkey drove a flying car. You could see the eye hooks and wire the car was on. There where no actors just little puppets.
Thats all I can remember besides laughing at the special effects.
A monkey driving a flying car?
Gotta be Knight Rider. 
Do not mock the “marvel of the age.” See Supercar or here.
“Supercar, designed by Professor Popkiss and his assistant Dr. Beaker, was meant to be a prototype for an all-terrain vehicle that could navigate on land, sea, air, and even space. Mike Mercury piloted the craft with help from Jimmy Gibson and his monkey, Mitch.” (From the first site)
Supercar may be hard to find but those with TechTV on their cable system can watch Thunderbirds, a later Gerry Anderson production, weekdays at 6:30 pm.
