I guess the yellow car in the motorcycle photo wasn't Alacala's Datsun F-10 unless he repainted it:
"Robison withstood a lame cross by Alcala, although the accused was able to show he'd misidentified Alcala's mini station wagon as a Datsun B210 instead of an F-10. Won't matter: I'd guess there are two young jurors to whom Datsun is as unfamiliar as Studebaker.
But just in case the car does come into play, here's an amazing tidbit gleaned from Robison: 30 years later, HBPD still has the Little Blue Wagon of Terror in evidence."

That's pretty amazing that they kept the car all these years!
The motorcycle in that photo (and the helmet a girl is seen wearing in another photo) could still be his, though:
"Inside the storage unit detectives found an old motorcycle and other junk."
