If you can break off a twig and it smells like root beer, its a birch.

The owner of that truck has a clever sense of humor. Just look at that license plate. That’s some Abscate shit right there

the photo is by enrique metinides a mexican photographer who chose accidents, earthquakes and murders for his subjects. this one is captioned 'juan manuel garcia shot by police 1973'
I think the car looks like an austin A55 cambridge fitted with overider bumpers
this is by metinides too...

The tail lights definitely match, but the rear bumper on the crashed car looks to be smaller/thinner. Maybe just an earlier build year with less sturdy bumpers?

Crashed one looks like it has a towel bar bigger over rider set up is all.

Could be, but the bumper itself just looks thicker on the nicer car. might be an optical delusion.

License light differs as well, but those tail lights, and the overall shape of the car sure look similar, likely a few model years difference going on there.
