I've often heard this short-lived TV series referred to as the worst sitcom in TV history. I can remember watching the series and being more entertained by it than many of it's contemporaries. It never lasted long as many viewers and critics believed the concept of a mother being reincarnated as a classic car was a tad over the top. Perhaps viewers of the 60s were a little less imaginative and tolerant than those of today. After several decades of talking horses, beautiful genies, chatty Knight Rider cars, Incredible Hulks, and Ghost Whisperers, we now accept over the top situations as mundane. Perhaps we should call the hilarious and lovable Jerry Van Dyke out of retirement and give the series one more chance.
