Early 80's, had a ("Freddie") Mercury Bobcat, w/ a lift-up, glass tailgate.
Couldn't find an all orange one, but this white trimmed one'll give ya the idea....

.....and 40+ years later, this one's in better shape than mine ever was.
I traded mine for a set of 1972 Wilson Staff irons, and a couple of pro style
Wilson Staff golf bags. And I got much the better end of that deal.
The paint on Freddie had long lost its shine, so it's hard to imagine it
ever being as nice and shiny as the one pictured above. Of course before
Freddie hit the road, his body had been rather severely bruised and battered.
But he was slow, and never hadn't exploded (yet).

Mine was bright yellow, fully optioned with 3-speed manual and moonroof and “racing” mirrors. It was my first car. Took it in for an oil change and the place “forgot” to put the oil cap back on. Unfortunately I didn’t see it until too late; that and the clogged fuel filter(s) causing all kinds of rough running. Pretty much killed the engine. Traded it in for the next one.

For all its faults I loved that thing.
