on to star in their own spin-off series, "Dastardly
& Muttley in their Flying Machines".

4: The Crimson Haybailer, driven
by Red Max - an air ace (loosely based on WWI German aviator, Max Immelmann) in a car/plane hybrid that was capable

also had a machine gun mounted, which was sporadically used.

Number
5: The Compact Pussycat, driven by Penelope Pitstop - a woman racer driving a pink feminine car

series, "The
Perils of Penelope Pitstop".

saloon car. They all appeared in the later spin-off series "The
