There once WAS a talking car. There was a short lived TV series called "My Mother, the Car". Ann Southern was the voice of the car, & I think the co-star was Jerry VanDyke.

You're right. It wasn't short-lived enough. I saw about 4 minutes of it at the time it first aired. It had the reputation for being the worst TV show ever, and the reputation was probably deserved. The four minutes were boring, with completely lame jokes, and if I remember correctly, a laugh track was inserted after a line that wasn't SUPPOSED to be funny! Yikes.
