Iconic Cars in Better Call Saul

There are sequels to movies and TV series, there are prequels and then there are spin-offs. Spin-offs generally go into production because of the extraordinary fame a character gets and people demanding to see more of them. While it might be hard to make the spin-offs as captivating as the original series, there have been instances where moviemakers were spot on with the project.
