Is it a coincidence that the Cars sound so much technically like the Police. They both had a really distinctive sound, and lots and lots of hits and even the songs that were not hits were good in and in brand ... and then when that time was passed, and virtually no one was listening any more they both dumped all their songs onto must have compilation albums that were great and reasonably priced to?

Percussive bass. The best in sound engineering at the time for sure. I remember reading somewhere, sometime that they tuned the sound and harmonics to the current technology in automobile sound systems and speakers, and the sound space, so they would resonate with people actually in Cars.

You've got enough interest and enough of an audience here that these old groups ought to be coming to you and paying you some good scrub to do a "what makes this song great" on their stuff.
