The Convert-a-Car

Professor Pat Pending is a character on Wacky Races.

About Pat[]

He is a scientist who drives #3, a boat-shaped vehicle called Convert-a-Car, which is equipped with a multitude of gadgets and which can change into just about anything that moves in Wacky Races. He's sometimes a rival of Dick Dastardly and Muttley, since his car is equipped with a lot of gadgets, just like the Mean Machine, although they are more defensive, or merely speed-boosting, in nature. He often uses his car's gadgets to help out the other drivers if they all get caught in the same trap, such as when he used his car's de-glue gizmo to unstick everyone from a glue trap left by Dastardly.

"Pat Pending" is an abbreviation for "Patent Pending", a legal phrase for when an invention's patent papers are in the works.
