I read an article, probably a decade or more ago, about how bad it would be for NYC cab companies that Ford was discontinuing the Crown Vic. The reasoning was that repair costs would increase because it was the last vehicle where individual body panels were easily replaceable. It was also the last body-on-frame sedan, so you could feasibly swap out an entire chassis. I'd be curious what the long-term impact was, or whether Uber made all that irrelevant.
