You earn achievements. You have to complete EVERY acievement, otherwise known as Badges and Crests, to unlock Midnight Francesco. Some of those are near to impossible. Out of sheer luck I completed the Hudson Hornet Crest. You had to drift on a drift zone for 6 seconds in a row. I got it during the Race Hyde Tour, in the spot where all the Double Decker Buses are coming toward you. I was using the Car Security Guard Finn McMissile but if you didn't buy him, the normal Finn or the Union Jack Finn should work, too.
The other way to earn Cars is simply by buying them. There are a lot of Cars you buy for $0.99 each. The Queen is FREE so I would recommend buying her, although she is very slow and hard to control. So if you want, buy your son a gift card for whatever console you play it on. I loved buying them and I played the game for another whole hour or two just playing races as them. Uncle Topolino is my favorite.
With acievements, there are 49 in total. Some you HAVE to play Multiplayer. Some are extremely hard. Some though, are pretty easy and for every 10 acievements you unlock a new Car! And on some special Achievements, you get bonus Cars, like Gunner Acer (VERY HARD!) or Brand New Fillmore (sheer luck I believe) or Ferrari Fan Luigi (sort of easy)
Also, I still need Young Professor Z. I believe he is even harder to get than Midnight Franesco, but that may be just my imagination.
