ADD NOTES
- A certain reference to "Jack Kennedy" was edited out on the broadcast version. The 'Complete Definite Collection Set' version is uncut. Edit
- Included on volume 28 of Image-Entertainment's DVD collection. Edit
- This is one of six episodes originally shot on videotape, then transferred to sixteen-millimeter film for broadcast. This was done as a cost-cutting measure. Edit

ADD QUOTES
- Old Man: By the way, Mr. Hunnicut, there is one other small item I ought to mention to you about the car. It's haunted. Hunnicut: Haunted? Ha, you don't say. Old Man: Oh, yes. Without a doubt, the car is quite haunted. It's been haunted ever since it came off the assembly line, and every single one of its owners attests to this fact. Hunnicut: Would you mind telling me how it's haunted? Or better yet, how to "unhaunt" it? Old Man: Oh, you'll find out soon enough. Edit
- (Opening Narration) Narrator: This, as the banner already has proclaimed, is Mr. Harvey Hunnicut, an expert on commerce and con jobs, a brash, bright, and larceny-loaded wheeler and dealer who, when the good lord passed out a conscience, must have gone for a beer and missed out. And these are a couple of other characters in our story: a little old man and a Model A car - but not just any old man and not just any Model A. There's something very special about the both of them. As a matter of fact, in just a few moments they'll give Harvey Hunnicut something that he's never experienced before. Through the good offices of a little magic, they will unload on Mr. Hunnicut the absolute necessity to tell the truth. Exactly where they come from is conjectural, but as to where they're heading for, this we know, because all of them - and you - are on the threshold of the Twilight Zone. Edit
- Hunnicut: Irv, Irv, for you to get more money out of me would be just about as easy as pouring hot butter into a wildcat's ear. Edit
