Watch Supercar
The show was about a craft that could land and take-off vertically. This craft was first created by Rudolph Popkins and Horatio Beaker. The driver or pilot was Mike Mercury. This team was based in Black Rock, Nevada. Like Thunderbirds, they would rescue people from all over the world. Jimmy Gibson and his pet monkey became members of the team after being saved by Supercar.
Garry Anderson produced this show and this show had his trademark sequence of launching of the vehicle. First, there would be the firing of the left and right engines. Then, it would be the opening of the skyward hangar doors and finally, the upward blastoff. Anderson would use this sequence until he made his live action TV show, Space:1999.
