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.

Do not mock the “marvel of the age.” See [Supercar](http://www.yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1224.php) or [here](http://www.yesterdayland.com/frames/?toURL=http://lonestar.texas.net/~m-mayhem/supercar&fromURL=/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1224.php).

“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.
