The 1938 Cadillac V-12 Limousine around which this episode revolves came from producer Bob Mosher's personal collection.
After Herman wrecks the crooks' getaway car, he talks to the cops about how he foiled the bank job. In the background is a loading dock with graffiti reading "Paley is a fink."
William S. Paley was the owner of CBS at the time and didn't think much of the low-brow humor of The Munsters. CBS President James Aubrey, on the other hand, loved the Munsters. At some point, the squabble turned personal and Paley fired Aubrey.
The "graffiti" is obviously an Easter egg commenting on that situation.

The title comes from the first line of "Paul Revere's Ride" by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. "Listen, my children, and you shall hear, Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five; Hardly a man is now alive, Who remembers that famous day and year."
Lily gets worried that Herman will get ideas from the drive-in movie they saw, with David Niven and Tuesday Weld. Actually, these actors never worked in a film together. However, Weld did a appear with Paul Newman in Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys! (1958).
The license plate number on the cops' car is IET 562.
