This sort of reminds me when Syrian border taxis that were used to travel to Lebanon or Jordan, consisted of a fleet 1970s Mopar cars. They were used until the late 2000s (circa 2008/2009) when they were replaced by crappy Hyundais and Kias. Not sure what was their fate when they were retired.

Here's some images I gathered of them:
