3. Perhaps the people in charge of cars for the Netflix series really wanted to do even better than the movie? If so, I think they managed, even if they don窶冲 yet have a Tatra.

There窶冱 not really going to be any spoilers here, but I will be showing screenshots from the series, so if you窶决e really worried, we窶冤l see you later. Everyone else, come on, let窶冱 look at some amazing cars!
The first car we encounter in the series is this firetruck, which looks like it窶冱 built from a 1948-1952 Ford F-1 truck. Even though the series has some details that suggest its taking place in the present, this truck sets an expectation of the sorts of lovely cars to come.
The car that窶冱 seen the most often in the series is this 1952-1954 Austin A40 Somerset. It窶冱 owned by a banker, and it窶冱 so crammed full of charm you窶冤l probably have to take some extra charm-inhibitors so you don窶冲 OD if you decide to binge-watch the series. You窶冤l get to see plenty of this car, inside and out.
In case you窶决e not convinced whoever is casting the cars for this show (I窶冤l see if I can hunt them down for an interview) is an obsessive after my own heart, look at this. Even the car in this tiny, grainy picture in a newspaper is a fascinating car: that窶冱 a Nissan Figaro.
A villain is nothing without the right car. Nothing. Luckily, this show窶冱 villain, Count Olaf, has a perfect, gleefully villainous and wonderful car: a menacing, flat-gray 1968 or 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado. This front-drive, V8 American beast is just perfect here.
This is the best shot you see of this car. A very quick pass by the camera; it窶冱 never not blurry. They really could have used almost anything and nobody would have noticed. But they didn窶冲. Whoever picked these cars had standards, so this fleeting shot is none other than an amazing Nissan Pao.

I love that they sourced a Pao just for this blurry-ass shot, but I hope we see more of it later.
Oh, man, I love this thing: it窶冱 a first-gen International Scout (a 窶?61-窶?65 Scout 80), painted orange and white like a delicious, off-road creamsicle. It fits the character and context perfectly, and it窶冱 just a delight to look at. It does end up wrecking into some topiary, so you may want to, as they say, look away.
Sometimes, your evil deeds require more than a coupe, even a massive coupe like a Toronado. That窶冱 why the evildoers in the series also have access to a more utilitarian vehicle, this 1959 or so Ford F100 panel van. Plenty of room for misdeeds in the back of that.

That panel van is in a scene that takes place in a parking lot, and every car in that lot is fantastic, even if you only barely see them in the dark. Let窶冱 see what we have here:
That窶冱 a 窶?70s-era Peugeot 504 in the back there...
Oh boy! We窶况e got a BMW Isetta (presumably belonging to someone named Emily), and Some kind of Step Van behind. Is that a GMC P3500 Grumman Olson? I wish I knew my step vans better.
It窶冱 hard to see, but that black car there is a 窶?60s-era Volvo PV54
