She's dead... or possibly separated, it's never explicitly stated.
The name "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was inspired by a series of actual race cars named "Chitty Bang Bang" - I, II, etc - in the early 1920s, notable for their use of enormous aircraft engines.
His father is English, his children are English, but Caractacus Potts speaks with an American accent. This is because Van Dyke refused to attempt an English accent after he caught a great deal of flak because of his godawful accent in Mary Poppins (in most "worst accent in movies" surveys it still ranks in the top 10).
Yes. The movie is loosely based on a children's book series written by Ian Fleming, the same man responsible for the creation of the famous James Bond series of books, which were also adapted into films by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and United Artists. The books were written specifically for Ian Fleming's son, and became big hits among Fleming enthusiasts and book critics, which led to the film adaptation.
