Does anyone remember a game show from the 60's or 70's?

The contestants won keys. Then they could try and start one of the 5 cars on stage and if their key started it; they won the car. Cool cars like GTO's or Firebirds. The name or who hosted?

    Is it "Split Second"?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_Second_(game_sh...

    The champion attempted to start one of five cars (all models from General Motors). All but one of the cars were disabled and would not start. If the contestant started the car, he or she won it and a cash jackpot (originally, it began at $200 and went up that much for each day until won; later, it started at $1,000 and grew by $500 every day until won) and retired. If he or she was unsuccessful, one car was eliminated from the next show if the contestant won the regular game again. If a contestant won five games in a row without winning the bonus round, upon winning the Countdown Round, he or she automatically won the jackpot and selected his or her choice of the five cars.
