The man who answered the door when Bobby, Cindy and Alice are soliciting signatures for their petition is none other than Jackie Coogan (1914-84), a former child actor celebrated for playing the title role opposite Charles Chaplin in The Kid (1921). Four decades later Coogan found fame with a new generation as Uncle Fester on The Addams Family (1964).
Jackie Coogan, who played the grumpy man Bobby and Cindy encountered, was the catalyst for the California Child Actor's Bill, AKA the Coogan Act/Coogan Bill.
This bill protects child actors' earnings, so parents can't squander the money they earned. Coogan was the highest-paid child actor in the 1920s, but lost basically everything to his parents.

The house that Alice, Bobby and Cindy petition is the same set from "The Liberation of Marcia Brady" where Peter sells cookies. The mailbox is moved, and the shrubs are different.
Jackie Coogan was in two episodes with titles referring to cars: Double Parked, and later in The Fender Benders.
