Discussion
on NCIS they had
Duckeys Morgan, Abbey's (mmm abbey ) hot rod, the seemed to use a lot of Dodge Intrepids and another car i cant place at the moment
In the parole office (movie) Steve Coogans character drove an old Volvo estate, same sort that Caroline Quentines character drove in Jonathan Creek

Ah yes ~ the late, great Patrick McGoohan. My all time favourite actor.Almost in agreement there ~ Great stuff and the music to match.
Almost, because prior to resigning from the "department" and becoming "The Prisoner", John Drake was "Dangerman" ~ a 30 minute TV series in black and white around 1960-2. The opening title sequence for Dangerman, John Drake ( McGoohan ) gets into a Mercedes~Benz 300sl ~ not the Gull Wing, but the equally beautiful soft top coupe variant ...
Despite a lengthy search, unable to locate the sequence showing the 300sl ~ maybe someone will have better luck finding it ~ meantime, here's another sequence/end of the TV show .... again, like the prisoner, strong opening sequence and titles....

McGoohan was offered the film part of James Bond 007 before Sean Connery. A few years before, both appeared in a rather quaint black and white film "Hell Drivers". McGoohan played a nasty piece of work who when I first saw the film, schoolboy me really hated the guy ~ his portrayal of a hard man Irish truck driver was that convincing I hated him and wanted him to get his comeuppence...! You can take things too seriously when you're young ~ well I did back then ....
