In the recent Jim Carey movie "A Series of Unfortunate Events," what was the car that the banker was driving?

The funny roundish car was a Tatra 603-2 (Russian made, I believe)
The huge car on the train tracks was a 1960 Crown Imperial Ghia Limousine
 
Tatras are Czech. One of the staffers at C&SC runs one. Interesting cars. Rear engined, aircooled V-8s, that funky styling. I'd have one.

I would have one, split rear window, definately funky styling.

But then, I own a Vanguard, you can tell how my tastes run.
 
Don't know anything about the Tatra in the movie but I do know that the pre WWII cars were extremely bad handling cars. They were so bad that the German high command prohibited officers from driving in them after they invaded Czechoslovakia. Seems too many of them were being killed or injured in wrecks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif
 
Not to worry, the car we are speaking of was a post-war, 1950s model.
