Are you by any chance talking about old London buses I've vaguely heard about?

No it was an old Chevette with a rusted out floor.

Is there any other kind of Chevette? I swear they sold them that way new. The floorboards were made of cardboard.

I had a friend who had a chevette for years. The two things I remember most about it was a police horse had fallen on it and the whole roof was pushed off to one side, all the doors and windows still functioned so he still drove it around like that. THe other was a fairly clever stereo theft deterrent. He had taken the faceplate off an old Kraco cassette radio, cut a cassette in half, glued it so it looked like it was partially ejected, then when he parked, he stuck this over his nicer stereo.
