You could do that with the older cars, drive backwards, and the odometer would roll back.

The tuatara is NOT a lizard but belongs to completely seperate order of reptiles.The two species of tuatara are the only surviving members of its order, which flourished around 200 million years ago

Just by the wording of the one in reverse, I think the car was modified. So it was in reverse gear, yes, but it was not like they were facing the wrong way in their seats.
