We had a sofa when I was a kid, if you fell asleep on it you’d wake up with a pattern etched into your face.

“Everyone else will still be converting (badly) in their heads.”

I don’t think so. Everyone carries a conversion calculator in their pocket these days. Over time, most people will become comfortable using metric measurements without an electronic aid.

I believe South Korea cancelled all their plans for new Nuke plants after what happened at Fukishima.

Nice pun...I’ll give you a Star, Chief.

“...it looks like it’s all front-end damage, which would almost certainly mean that he couldn’t stop in time and rear-ended someone.”

Or another driver violated right-of-way by running a stop sign or something similar, in which case this front end damage would be the other driver’s fault.

Modern Dodge Ram duallies do have smooth, tapered rear fenders as you have described

Nice little car a real time capsule, at a price that is just too high. No dice!  Especially since it has a slushbox.

That thing that looks like a soup can is a genuine Ford part  (Vacuum Reservoir):

“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 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
