I see all of them all over Vermont, including a thirdgen Honda Fit from the inside. Yeah, a Civic wasn’t THAT much more but all the extra people space is eaten up by that ridicuhuge console, and all the extra cargo space by the Civic’s sedan-ness, and the base LX is CVT-only starting with ‘20, and by the time I’d gone…
California is one of the few states where the license plates and the number stay with the car, not the owner.
Those Vermont plates fade badly though. Only in the number field, the upper and lower bands with “Vermont” and “Green Mountain State” on them don’t.
So they upgraded the battery-and-motor system, downgraded the upholstery and threw in a feature that in a sane world would make the car completely uninsurable. Got it.
Ah, 1977-78, GM’s Dawn of False Hope. The Chevette was not yet terribly outdated for being RWD, the big B- and C-bodies were markedly improved by their downsizing, and the A- (later G-) body was about to get the same treatment for ‘78.
On a related note, fake-wood paneling. I thought it was the stupidest ugly crap when I was a kid, now it has a certain “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore” appeal to it.
I was just thinking the only thing better(?) than this would be if the speedo and tach were Mel-Brooks-As-Hitlers. Also, someone really needs to get Brooks to say Jason’s line about his blood type being deli.
I would guess that’s a Santa Fe and a Kona N-Line under the tarps.
And if you give me a choice I’ll take a model car over clothes.
And for that matter will there be any design “easter eggs” worked into them?

It matches the car!
It’s a ‘66 or ‘67 then, ‘68-9 had the Federally mandated side marker lights.
I don’t see him going to prison, realistically, and it’s almost better that he be a free man watching from across the street when the BLOOMBERG TOWER sign goes up on his former Park Avenue home.
It annoys me so much that the trunk lid opens in that dramatic clamshell fashion, but leaves the back window behind. There’s no good reason for it not to have a full liftback hatch, after all the Tesla Model S does.
Start with a Bronco Sport and a styling team headhunted from Mitsuoka.
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore. It’s too bad you couldn’t option a ZJ with that red velour interior, the manual transmission AND woodgrain, even if you special ordered a new one back in the day.
Dodge was favored for those and the widebody variants especially because their time was mostly done by the time GM made an extra-long van and Ford’s Twin-I-Beam front suspension wasn’t as modification-friendly as the A-arms and coil springs the others used.
