=== Cars === [[File:Sunbeam Tiger(4).jpg|thumb|1965 [[Sunbeam Tiger]]]] The car that Smart is seen driving most frequently is a red 1965 [[Sunbeam Tiger]] two-seat roadster.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.saoc.demon.co.uk/Horn%20173.pdf |title=1960's Smart Car |publisher=Sunbeam Alpine Owners Club 'The Horn' |page=4 |date=December 1, 2007 |access-date=May 16, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919023521/http://www.saoc.demon.co.uk/Horn%20173.pdf |archive-date=September 19, 2016 }}</ref> This car had various custom features, such as a machine gun, smoke screen, radar tracking, and an [[ejection seat]]. The [[Sunbeam Alpine]], upon which the Tiger was based, was used by customizer [[Gene Winfield]] because the Alpine's four-cylinder engine afforded more room under the hood than the V8 in the Tiger.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.wyotech.edu/post/2009/06/10-top-tv-cars |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090628084952/http://news.wyotech.edu/post/2009/06/10-top-tv-cars |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 28, 2009 |title=10 TV Cars You Wish You Owned |publisher=News.wyotech.edu |date=June 25, 2009 |access-date=November 15, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Grant |first=David |title=The Legendary Custom Cars and Hot Rods of Gene Winfield |publisher=Motorbooks |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-7603-2778-4}}</ref> [[Aluminum Metal Toys|AMT]], Winfield's employer, made a model kit of the Tiger, complete with hidden weapons. It is the only kit of the Tiger, and has been reissued multiple times as a stock Tiger. Adams received the Sunbeam and drove it for 10 years after the end of the show. It was wrecked and repaired several times, and its current whereabouts are unknown.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.saoc.demon.co.uk/Horn%20173.pdf |title=1960's Smart Car |publisher=Sunbeam Alpine Owners Club 'The Horn' |page=6 |date=December 1, 2007 |access-date=May 16, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919023521/http://www.saoc.demon.co.uk/Horn%20173.pdf |archive-date=September 19, 2016 }}</ref> In the black-and-white pilot episode only, Smart drives a 1961 [[Ferrari 250]] GT PF Spider Cabriolet.<ref>{{cite web |author=Schiemann Harms Medien GmbH & Co.

In seasons three and four, Smart drives a light blue [[Volkswagen Karmann Ghia]], because [[Volkswagen]] had become a sponsor of the show.<ref name=HenryFeldon/> The Volkswagen was never used in the body of the show.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.saoc.demon.co.uk/Horn%20173.pdf |title=1960's Smart Car |publisher=Sunbeam Alpine Owners Club 'The Horn' |page=5 |date=December 1, 2007 |access-date=May 16, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919023521/http://www.saoc.demon.co.uk/Horn%20173.pdf |archive-date=September 19, 2016 }}</ref> In season five (1969β1970), [[Buick]] became a show sponsor,<ref name=HenryFeldon/> so the Tiger was replaced with a gold 1969 [[Opel GT]], which also appears in the body of the show. In [[List of Get Smart episodes|season four]] (1968β1969), Adams uses a yellow [[CitroΓ«n 2CV]] in the wedding episode "With Love and Twitches"<!-- (Episode 4.09) -->, and a blue 1968 [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] [[Shelby Mustang]] GT500 convertible with a tan interior and four seats (as required by the plot) in the episodes "A Tale of Two Tails" <!-- (4.07) --> and "The Laser Blazer"<!-- (4.10) -->. In the short-lived [[Get Smart (1995 TV series)|1995 TV series]], Smart is trying to sell the Karmann Ghia through the classified ads. In ''Get Smart, Again!'', Smart is seen driving a red 1986 [[Alfa Romeo Spider|Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce]]. The Sunbeam Tiger, the Karmann Ghia, and the Opel GT all make brief appearances in the 2008 film. The Sunbeam Tiger is seen in the CONTROL Museum, along with the original shoe phone, which Smart also briefly uses. The Opel GT is driven by Bernie Kopell and is rear-ended by a truck. Smart steals the Karmann Ghia to continue his escape.
