What you could try is to remove all texture definitions which would paint
blue on the triangles, an easy "Replace..." should suffice. Then, declare
the object once. If you now place it via object{Car}, you can put a texture
inside the object{} and it should get applied to all untextured objects.
This is more or less guesswork though, so it might have some side-effects.
But if it works, you can place several cars with different colors without
having to parse several large meshes.
