Speed Buggy

Speed Buggy is a Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and broadcast on CBS from September 8, 1973 to August 30, 1975. This show followed the adventures of an anthropomorphic, fiberglass Dune Buggy, Speed Buggy, his driver Tinker, and Tinker's friends Mark, and Debbie. The three young adults and their car traveled from race to race, often encountering spy capers and mysteries along the way. Speed Buggy's trademark quotes were always "Roger-Dodger!" and "Vroom-a-zoom-zoom!" Though Speed Buggy, nicknamed Speedy and his friends - had a mind of his own, which is similar to Disney's Herbie the Love Bug, he was vulnerable to commands given through a communicator/remote control device made by Tinker when he first built Speed Buggy. Speed's friends rarely used the device to control his actions, using it mainly for its communication function, but criminal and other never-do-wells would sometimes steal or duplicate the device and manipulate Speed for their own purposes.

The cartoon show features the voices of Mel Blanc as Speed Buggy. Michael Bell as Mark. Arlene Golonka as Debbie. and Phil Luther, Jr. as Tinker.
