Chief Ironbottom uses to a specially constructed wheelchair to chase bad guys, near the end of the television movie. A conventional wheelchair frame was duplicated using heavy gauge steel & iron pipe (and it was also heavily re-enforced). A stripped-down automobile engine was mounted to the chair to allow the stunt driver (standing in for Chief Ironbottom) to drive the wheelchair at near highway speed using a specially designed steering system. A speedometer was temporarily attached to the wheelchair to check its "top speed". The top speed was apparently never determined, due in part to the chair's incredible acceleration and due to the "apprehension" of stunt men on the set to drive the special wheelchair at full throttle, because it "reportedly" reached 60 miles per hour and was still accelerating.
