Fans of Columbo's infamous vehicle will also want to see Columbo's Car Crashes, and the video compilation of Columbo's collisions in Columbo Video. See similar questions...

In the Saint books by Leslie Charteris, Simon Templar drove a Hirondel (although on occasion he would also appear in a Furillac or Desurio). The problem that the television producers had when they started to produce the 1960's Saint TV series was that the flamboyant cream and red Hirondel was a complete work of fiction (as were the other two). They decided to go with a contemporary car, and had two hot new sports cars to choose from: the Volvo P1800 or the Jaguar XK-E. See similar questions...

That's due to risk again. Insurance companies base insurance rates on their claims experience when it comes to the safety record of the make and model of vehicle you are driving.
