1. What would cause a car to explode like that?

3. Probably someone owed a lot of money, got confronted and told a mob boss to go f*** himself.

That's typically what caused them to explode back in the day. Also trying to fix something they shouldn't and storing volatile substances in the trunk is another possibility.
