don't think there was the sensitivity to physically-challenged people in the 60s as there is now. ...Or perhaps there *was* sensitivity toward the differently abled, and that's why they never acknowledged the stroke. Remember, the humor was sometimes at Floyd's expense, and his final episode--the one about the contest--actually has Floyd as the foil and antagonist. Trying to mine that kind of humor out of an acknowledged stroke victim might have looked very insensitive (plus as a stroke victim, Floyd wouldn't be able to drive his car into the gas station in the first place).
