One word: Greyhound.
Way back when, before lubrication technology is where it is today, such a torch and propane tank set up was pretty much standard equipment on tractor trailers in Alaska. While it wasn’t used to melt the snow, it was used to heat the oil pan, transmission(s) (some old school rigs had a main and aux. trans and two…
The New York Subway system operates about a dozen different models of different legnths and door locations, so it would be pretty hard to do so.

My current CR-V is built in Hermosillo, Mexico.

For short distances it doesn’t make a diference, it all gets sold to gas stations at the same fuel rack.
Here in Southern Calif, and I’m guessing in San Antonio as well, there are a sh*t ton of Mexican tagged cars here, for which there are very little smog rules.
A DT466 and manual equipped rig suggests that you were driving an International S-series. While large, they still have sloped hoods, while this thing literally has most of a cube for a hood.
