I inherited a car with both mold and smoke smell.  I dried it out and left
the windows open for weeks.  I had essentially given up, but decided to try
one last desperate measure.  I used a large clamp to hold a can of Lysol so
that it sprayed without me holding it open.  I put that in the car and left
it there with the windows and doors closed, for 48 hours.  

I had to clean the inside of the windows, but the smells were gone.
