Had a Camaro that leaked from a rusted seam in the unibody and caused that.
Hard to track down, but Arm&Hammer carpet cleaner fixed the smell.  Better
yet, go to a detailer or car dealer that reconditions used cars. They use
an ozone machine that runs inside the interior and will eliminate most any
odor like smoke/must etc.
