The Munsters: Hot Rod Herman (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Eddie accepts a challenge from his classmate that their respective fathers will compete in a car race. Herman accepts a bet proposed by his competitor by which the winner gets the loser's car. Herman loses the race, and therefore also the family's coach. Grandpa builds a new car, the Drag-ula, and drives it in a new race, with a new bet being placed, similar to the previous one. His competitor sabotages him by stripping his car of its rear para-chute, which would function as the stopping device after the end of the race. Grandpa wins but can't stop the car by himself; Herman helps him by grabbing onto the car's rear and using his own feet as a brake. They recover the coach but its parts drop one by one as it moves.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese, except for the ending which for some reason was broadcast with the original voices.
