Relativistic Addition of Velocities
https://courses.lumenlearning.com/physics/chapter/28-4-relativistic-addition-of-velocities/

Quote:
Figure 3. According to experiment and the second postulate of relativity, light from the car’s headlights moves away from the car at speed c and towards the observer on the sidewalk at speed c. Classical velocity addition is not valid.

Take such claims with a pinch of salt. Look closely, from a company that plays perspective tricks with where the smoke wand is. Not very cricket.

Plymouth Cricket : 1971
https://cartype.com/pages/2010/plymouth_cricket__1971

Quote:
The Plymouth Cricket was a subcompact automobile sold by the Plymouth division of Chrysler Corporation in the American market from 1971 to 1973. The car was a captive import, a rebadged version of the British Hillman Avenger, built by Chrysler's UK subsidiary (formerly the Rootes Group). Curiously, only a four-door sedan and station wagon were available, at a time when two-door subcompacts were much more popular, and a two-door body was sold in the Avenger range.
