The car has a face!

...

The Moomins know what a car is? I don't think I've ever seen a car depicted before.

Moominpappa is the one that identifies the car, and I'm willing to believe that in his adventures as a youth he's encountered cars before. Well, since they exist in this universe, he's probably encountered them. It does kind of feel weird to have cars. Moomins are intentionally kind of out of time, but it feels like a pre-car era.
