This technology was used to make the first plastic-body automobile in the United States, the Pontiac Fiero, in 1983.
Barney calls Marshall (Jason Segel) (who is supposed to be busy studying) to come to Philadelphia in the Fiero, because it is going to be "legendary".

Assembled in the now defunct North Tarrytown Assembly, these U-body vans consisted of a galvanized steel spaceframe wrapped in composite plastic body panels that were impervious to rust and minor dents and dings, a manufacturing technique developed on the Pontiac Fiero and used extensively on General Motors' Saturn line of vehicles.
Released in the fall of 1989 for the 1990 model year, the U platform/GMT199 utilized a galvanized steel space frame underneath composite plastic dent resistant panels similar to those used in Saturn models and the Pontiac Fiero.
