“Neat! I’m curious what agency/department had this & why.”

Honda’s little 125cc machines (with about 12 h.p.) will do 60 mph, so this thing shouldn’t have any problem going the speed limit on just about any road in the USA.  But if you’re riding the interstate on one of these, you’re doing it wrong.

The tail of that Jeep looks more like a 1957 Plymouth Fury than a Cadillac.

Hornet, not Gremlin

Does the DeTomaso Pantera (powered by Ford, and sold at Lincoln/Mercury dealers) count as a collaboration?  

This is also what I was thinking.  Someone important didn’t get their cut, or was angered enough to go after these people.  

At this price, no hardtop = no deal

“only”  13.3% ,   LOL

I thought that in space, a “weightless” environment,  it actually weighs nothing.

I had a ‘79 Chevette, and it was pretty solid for me.  I traded it in when it was 5 years old and had about 75,000 miles on it, still running strong.  I must have had the only decent one.

The only thing that makes this rare is it is an unusual (and kind of ugly imho) trim package. I could see this one being a nostalgia buy at $1500, but no dice to any more than that.

“Is this how The Real World or Road Rules appeared to adults back in the 90s?”

Yes, exactly

even that doesn’t always work -- they recently changed to URL, I think it was related to the name change from NPOCP

If it was in 1992... you’d have to ask the dealer if you can use their phone to call the cops on them.

I think you have to combine the Camaro and Firebird numbers to get the real picture, since they are essentially the same car.

They also turned the Ford Granada into the Lincoln Versailles, although they disguised it much better than GM did with the Cimmaron.

Well, this is kind of a niche brand. And while this looks cool, any additional power its engine provides will be offset by its corpulence. And with a price that is approaching double what a Grom costs, I can’t see them selling too many of these.

“whatever style you could afford in conjunction with the economy you had to cope with”

In my area in the 80s, poor folks usually drove beater sedans or econo-boxes (think Pintos and Vegas) from the 70s, or rusted out shitboxes from the 60s. I also saw some guys get great deals on luxo-barges like Imperial, Cadillac, or…

“did they fix the dohicky”
