Actually, the best story I ever heard about "plastic" cars was about the original Corvette. Apparently no one had told the electrical types that fiberglass was an insulator, so the wire harnesses for the prototype cars was built assuming the body would act as ground as it does in a metal car. Needless to say, nothing in the electrical system worked.
