I can only narrow the thing down to a '75-77 Cordoba. They gave the car stacked headlights for 1977-79. I didn't like the things when they were new, mainly because I was a die-hard GM fan as a little kid.
 
Style-wise, I don't think they're bad looking, considering that era. One of the buff rags at the time called it a cross between a Jaguar and a Monte Carlo. Pretty tough cars too...they're basically a copcar underneath. If I was going to go for something like that, I'd really try holding out for a 1978-79 Mirada, but I wouldn't be ashamed of a Cordoba. As long as it's not brown!

...where Louie is screaming at one of the drivers for getting into an accident, "You hit a CHRYSLER CORDOBA?!?!? The one with the 'rich Corinthian leather?'"

Early Ford Bronco. Possibly mid-late 1960s. They didn't change much well into the 1970s.

That's not so different from a proposal I read about for each home to have a miniature reactor in the back yard to provide electricity and heat.
  
I swear I didn't make that up.

 
No, and you didn't hallucinate it either. The reactor was to be buried, similar to a heating oil tank, and would be refueled as necessary (perhaps every few years). It was part of the 'electricity too cheap to meter' plan in the '50s. I also saw, on Nickelodeon or a similar channel, an episode of 'I've Got a Secret' from that era where a guest brought a small demonstrator reactor onto the set and showed it powering a light bulb.

Dad's Nuke. Good book.
 
I saw a link not too many months ago that was the same sort of deal, just updated for the 21st century, but the buried reactor would serve maybe 20 homes.

First Ricardo, now Patrick? That's a Mini Moke. Wish I could find some pics of what he drove in Secret Agent Man (Danger Man for our GB friends).
