Apparently police and ambulance , so not likely in N. America.
Aluminum hoods in 240 diesel models , trying to overcome the weight of the Diesel engines.

Some respondents have reported that they have fit 1979 240 trunk lids on to the 140 without major problems, the only minor issue being the metric fasteners on the 240s.
I have come to the conclusion that the aluminum trunks are rare, perhaps bordering on non existent since nobody has reported laying hands on one. Since they might be the equivalent of vapor ware, I probably won't expend any more effort trying t chase one down.
It is odd that the North American parts website does this reference to the aluminum trunk lid.
