I seem to remember this coming up on the list way back when... ie many
years ago.
Someone went in some detail about the cars. There were a couple of
Sunbeams used as the machine guns concealed in hood had to go in an
Alpine as they would not fit under the hood of the Tiger with the V8 or
something like that.
Someone else remembered pulling up next to Don Adams in his gold Rolls
at a traffic light in Vegas (Don's in the Rolls not the lister)
Not sure where the story went from there so you can write your own
ending.
Any way, back to lurking.

Get Smart Car - Red Sunbeam Tiger convertible sports car issued to
Control agent Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) on the spy comedy GET
SMART/NBC/1965-70. The CFB600 model (License Plate No. D6-893) contained
a cigarette lighter (that doubled as a grenade); ejector seat (activated
by remote control or switch on dashboard); exhaust pipe machine gun,
tail pipe oil slick device, two 100-velocity, 50-caliber machine guns
concealed in hood, radar scan, radar tracking device to track Control
agent cars. (activated by pulling light switch and turning it left);
radiator cap filled with poisonous gas; trunk (opened by dialing the
plate numbers to CA44N); and smoke screen device. The car cost $32,000.
During the second season Maxwell Smart got a blue Karman Ghia
convertible. During the fifth season, Max drove a gold 1969 Opel GT
sports car. On a few occasions, Max drove a white Mustang convertible.
TRIVIA NOTE: In episode No. 114. "Ironhand" (aired 3rd October 1969)
while trying to prevent KAOS henchman Ironhand (Paul Richards) from
getting "The Anti-Anti-Anti-Missile-Missile" plans, Maxwell Smart
accidentally fires a mortar shell and completely destroys his gold Opel.
But miracles upon miracles, in the scene shortly after that, Max pulls
up to the Washington airport in the same car with no damage what so ever
to the car.
Those were the days!

And Loreli (no cigarette lighter grenade, no ejector seat... dang.)
